Keel part 18 compound bevel

[Alf in Iowa]

Despite my own kit having been not delivered yet, I have been seriously studying Heinrich's build log ( his being the earliest ) as well as browsing thru many of the others. I have noted a whole bit of discussion involving that part 18 very long compound taper bevel below the bearding line and just today I found a great prototype ship photo that beautifully displays that exact bevel.

I post two pics here, 1, the cover of the book and 2, the photo showing the bevel. Note the lighter colored area in the upper part of the deadwood and extending across the two pages of the book.
Thanks for looking,

This so brilliantly explains in one pic what and why it's needed.
Thanks Alf!

As a PS for this line:

That part was not the main discussion, it was the discussion if the bevel runs always to the bow as a wrote here in my build-log:
-> Pag. 3 - #47 <-

Ya, that _is_ a very good drawing, I like technical illustration. What is this book "The Saga . . . ", I noticed it mentioned more than a couple times now? That might be a nice acquisition for my tech library.

It’s about the BN-II, but also some interpretations of the original.

Thank you Peter, I just bought a used one described as like new online at a very comfortable price. I'll be looking for it in the mail perhaps toward the end of next week.
