I'm working on the drawings for my Fairey Fisherman motor sailer and am wondering about the frames towards the stern.
The hull is based on a ships life boat design (hence why I'm asking in here) with a rounded stern.
What I'm pondering is whether to have the frames at the stern at right angles to the keel or have the last one or two frames at right angles to the hull skin i.e. at an angle to the keel? I realise this requires more work in shaping and gluing to the keel but I won't have to angle the outside and inside (to suit the cockpit) of the frames at what is quite an angle.
Having said this I suppose I could have the hull stringers sitting proud of the frames so that I don't have to sand them to an angle?
Would appreciate what folks think and have done.
Model is being built at 1:12 so 27" long.
