Seems to be the same bayman

Ok, the way I saw it done was placing a spring clamp on the board at the deck line. It would accomplish similar. Rick

Interesting idea, I have not seen that done before. Rick

SJ. You could do that but the scimitar shape is to move the center of effort to the rear of the boat so you get a balanced helm. (at least that is what I have read) If the daggerboard were straight you could do add the pins. Rick Lathrop

Thank you for posting, I checked and Google Maps shows a house at each of the Van Duyne and Perrine addresses. It looks like Van Duyne and Perrine built boats in the backyard.

Jode, I have a planing hull sneakbox that someone did the same tapering of planks. I have done similar when cross planking the bottom of a garvey to tighten the bottom planking. Rick

Steve, Unfortunately you can’t adjust the depth on the scimitar board. I was going to use a spring clamp to hold board up when not in use. Guy I knew with a 12’ melonseed did same and it worked. Rick

Sweet looking vessel. Someone took the time to add flourishes for the stool racks. Looks like the deck planking is tongue and grooved plus tapered into place. Rick

Bob, Thanks, I was not sure if it was based on the Chapelle garvey plans. Rick Lathrop

Did Mark build from a specific plan or make his own? Sailing garveys are rare these days. There is one in the new issue of WoodenBoat. Rick

Bob, Impressive list. You need to add that Sam Hunt to your collection. I would like to see photos of the 1984 Mark Ford Gunning Garvey/ sailing. Rick Lathrop

SJ, Brass turnbuttons made from half oval stock. I stole idea from a catboat. Steve, There doesn’t seem to be much written about gunning boxes. Chapelle has drawings for one in the Ranger plans. Using the fix seat rowing measurement guidelines from Angus boats I made up a 5” box to get to...

Other then Tuckerton I don't see any other museum preserving it.

why was it never in the water?

Steven, My work will not be at your level but I copied your turnbuttons. I initially used some oak half round but didn't like the feeling when sitting on them so I ordered some brass half oval from OnlineMetals and I made brass turnbuttons. Rick Lathrop
