The Bulwark slots are positioned so as to allow water to drain away, rather than pool on the deck in the dead corners around the frame tops. You could do away with some slots, but if you wanted to drain the deck fully you would have to drill limber holes in the bottom of the frames, close to the deck. This may be hard to do now and it would also weaken the frames supporting the bulwark. We presume this is the boat started by Courtney and Tara? If I can help with any practical suggestions please ask. mine is boat 9 and both Phil and I have made a number of changes/improvements since your drawings were made.

I have a question related to the scupper openings in the bulwarks. Do you think it is necessary to have these running the entire length of the deck? Wouldn't one or perhaps two - say one at the lowest point of the beam when the boat is on its waterline, and perhaps one aft of that suffice to drain water that makes its way onboard, either from waves or rain? Note that my boat will live on a trailer, not on a mooring, when not actually sailing. Previously I owned a 26 foot cold molded sloop, with just two scuppers through the toerails on each side, and this was enough to keep water from pooling on the deck <br /><br />Dr. Bruce Bolster<br />Clandeboye, ManitobaUnknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03077379838119063354noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2603753893669943061.post-15857177511838787882017-05-27T22:25:54.620+01:002017-05-27T22:25:54.620+01:00Hello Chris.

All is well with me, it is just that I rather lost momentum on the Blog as I tend to do the same stuff each year, and it gets a bit repetitive. It started out as a way of showing everybody what a great little boat the Shilling was and how I used it. I never really intended it to be a blow-by-blow account of every trip etc. I will put up some more stuff when I have something unusual or new.
