	Third Season Feedback
		The canoe was transported on the roof of a car using four foam blocks in the gunwhales and nylon adjustable straps hooked into a nylon chord in the painter holes.
		The gunwhales required frequent varnishing because the slightest crack or wear in the varnish coat causes the wood to discolour quickly from moisture.
		The yoke was remounted deeper into the gunwhale and against the fiberglass of the hull and this problem has not recurred on the yoke.

		A man escaped with his life this morning after his vessel was engulfed in flames whilst he slept onboard.
		He lived on the vessel, so all of his belongings were destroyed in the fire, which he thinks could have started in the engine room.
		The yacht was burnt to a level beyond the gunwhales and is beyond repair.

		With the boom, gaff and sail resting in the boom crutch, and held securely by the cleated mainsheet, the tent cover is laid along the sail and held down to the gunwhales.
		The canes were held in by short bits of line fastened to the risers inside the boat, looped over the gunwhales and pulling the canes in tight.
		The measurements were taken from the boom to the underside of the gunwhale, keeping the tape square to the boom.

	The M.O.D.
		Particular attention has been paid to the wooden trim, an example of which is the bulb section bilge keels providing effective hand holds in the event of capsize.
		The transom is suitably strengthened to take outboard motors and the handholds for carrying are situated at strategic points along the gunwhales for easy movement of the craft.
		The centreplate casing is an integral moulding with the hull, the centreplate being made of 6mm hot-dipped, galvanised mild steel with softened edges.

		The gunwhales are made of spruce strips which are ripped on the table saw and glued to the top of the skins
		A setup involving laminated spruce blocks glued to the sides, gunwhales and bulkheads serves as an anchoring point for the crossbeams.
		Dagger board cases constructed from plywood and spruce spacers are put in along with plywood spacers to anchor the dagger board case to the side of the hull.

		Gunwhales are the long pieces of wood which run along the sides of a kayak.
		When the gunwhales are ready, it's time to do the 'mortises'.
		Mortises are chiseld-out holes in the gunwhales to fit your boat's ribs into.

		The seats will be hung on the inner gunwhale with four 4...5" stainless steel bolts (see thwart) each and some hardwood spacers between seat and gunwhale.
		Now that the gunwhales are installed, you need to do a final sanding before you can start with the varnishing process.
		The rule is to apply at least four coats with sanding inbetween, at least after the first and the third coat.

	Wingboat Sculling Shells (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-07)
		The main hull and fittings are otherwise identical to the Italia/S. The wing can be moved fore and aft to change the athlete's work station in the boat, and to suit different rowing styles.
		Because of the need for proper reinforcement of the wing attachment points and gunwhales, the Wingboats singles are often 2-3 lbs over FISA minimum weight.
		The seat tracks have been moved to the sides of the gunwhales, offering a wider ball-bearing seat, and relief for "track bitten" calves.

		I have taken a liking to the thwartless system, only this time I decided to shift the control lines from under the inner gunwhale to a more readily accessible position, for both my crew and myself, and onto a bridge.
		Removing the side decks was straight forward enough, what was required now was a jig to hold the hull in alignment for when the aft sections dissappeared.
		Removing the gunwhales and thwart would obviously make the hull want to open out once the rear sectons had gone.

		The frames and half frames are Sitka Spruce, the planking Western Red Cedar, the gunwhales, decks and thwarts are of Mahogany, and the stems and keel are made from White Oak.
		Before revarnishing, I painted the interior with a mixture of boiled linseed oil and turpentine, leaving it to "dry" for 2 weeks before varnishing with Epifanes spar varnish.
		I also installed some "dutchmen" in the gunwhales where the thwarts attach.

	Docket No. 14266
		The violation involves 3 hatch tenders standing on hatch pontoons stowed on the deck adjacent to and flush with the offshore gunwhales of these vessels.
		To have a clear view of the logs in the water and when they are being hoisted to the ship, it is necessary that the hatch tenders stand as close to the gunwhale as possible.
		But, when pontoons are stowed on the deck flush with the top of the gunwhale, as in this case, the hatch tenders standing on the pontoons and the top of the gunwhale do not have the protection of the gunwhale.

		This is necissary for when seas pick up to a few feet you can still run good speeds and not bury the nose or take a bath from all of the spray.
		On an inshore boat or bay boat they are all trying to get the draft of the boat as minimal as possible and the gunwhales are as low profile as possible.
		The gunwhale and bow are as low as possible on a bay boat because all of that extra fiberglass sticking up out of the water is heavy and because it catches wind.

	SK FAQ Section 4: Sea Kayak Construction
		Cut and plane an identical angle in both ends of the two pieces so that when they are placed in a 'boat' shape, they meet flat.
		One serves as a footbrace, one is right behind the cockpit as a back support, and the two in front of the cockpit should be arched to provide knee room and easy entry.
		These should meet the gunwhales smoothly and provide an attachment point for the keel.

	Applying Mahogany Veneer to deck - The WoodenBoat Forum (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-07)
		The gunwhales are solid mahogany plank trimmed with an oak (red or white...not yet sure) strip.
		The gunwhales, bow, and hatchcovers are in fairly rough shape and I'm considering covering them with a mahogany veneer.
		I'd like to cover the fir plywood bulkheads so they are mahogany and match the rest of the gunwhales and hatches.

		Finding the centre point of an inchworm, and sing the electric drill, install the inchworms on the underside of the gunwhales at your marked point, matching the centre point of the inchworm with your marked point.
		Tie the thin cord to the first inchworm and cross it to the first inchworm on the other side of the canoe.

	Carving a Yoke
		In order to maximise my weight savings I am using Sitka Spruce for all the trim: gunwhales, decks, seats, yoke, and stems (except for White Cedar inner stems - and that only because I don't have enough long pieces of Sitka Spruce).
		The yoke was originally joined to the gunwhales by a small mortise and tenon joint but a small
		crack began to appear in one of the gunwhales.

		I refinished the bench seats, and had shot 2 coats of basecoat/clearcoat bright white on the seats ($100), and had new cusions with teal green piping made to compliment the seats ($500).
		The front seats have "Hydrodyne" embroidered into them in matching teal green ($75) Also, the boat never had nice gunwhales; I made beautifully covered panels with marine grade plywood covered in matching white vinyl to line the inside of the boat ($100).
		New non skid inserts are installed in the recessed step area along the rop of the gunwhales ($40).

		Another area of concern was some braces that had rotted out under the gunwhales.
		I could tell there was some kind of brace there, it had rotted away too.
		The gunwhales were quite flexible and I don't know as I would want to plant my rear on the side of the boat with a strong wind to my back.

		Yes it puts stress on the gunwhales, but the deck/hull joint is the strongest part of the boat.
		The gunwhale supports on the Kittyhawk are probably shorter than my aluminium dolly, which has a support length of about 600 mm or 2' each side - and the gunwhale joint cracked open one side - on the other side the flange split after the joint, on the hull.
		The gunwhale supports are closer to 10" (inches) in length.

		We're quite a bit better now at staying upright but it would help a lot to have some toe loops along the gunwhales to keep in touch with things when it's windier.
		Perhaps I shouldn't drill holes but rather stick some rubber material on with Sikkaflex which would be easier to adapt in the future if necessary.
		Took the plunge and the cordless drill to the gunwhales.

		The flying nun: i've only heard of the girls doing this one but, you take a power ten or twenty, the throw both your hands up in the air and hold the oar with your outboard foot- it can be tricky at first, but it definately improves balance, coordination, and teamwork.
		The standing drill: This is where you take 5-10 strokes of normal pressure, then have all 9 (yes, including the cox) stand on the gunwhales.
		My crew does one like the flying nun, but once we hold the oar to the gunwhal with your leg, then we flap our arms like a bird, and if everyone does it together the boat somewhat bounces up and down.

		I took it out this past Monday for the first time and was livid with the way the seats moved about on the gunwhales.
		I also measured and painted lines on the inside of the gunwhales at my favorite positions, this allows me to beat them back into place when on the water.
		Not only will the seats move but when they are way out of position the boat will twist and not track very well, let alone stay in trim.

		The vinal gunwhales are beefy enough to clamp on rod holders,can holders, and maybe even orelocks.
		As with all the plastic canoes it is heavier to lug around.
		The largest problem Iv'e read about is the famed "IQ" gunwhales are nothing more than channeled aluminum, therefore flexing and bending to the point that anything slid into the channeling will bind up.

		As a brief side note, you certainly don’t want to carry your boat to the water so there is a device called a portadolly that will enable you to bring your boat to the water.
