NOTES ON BOATS
How Well Do You Know Your Boat?
BY BOB JONES

The nomenclature of boats
varies with their design. Mo-
torboats win have parts that
are not found on sailboats and
vice versa. Yet in all hulls
there are certain fundamental
parts that are common. The
names for these parts are often
miscalled. which leads to con-
siderable confusion.
In conventional boatbuild-
ing, the keel Is the first part
to be laid down. and 1t becomes
the main support for the frame
members. Quite often the keel
will be one solid piece. being
Irabbeted along its entire length
on both sides for the fitting Of
the bottom planks.
Some boats are made with q
single plank covering the en-
tire bottom: the keel then Ia
inside and Is called the inner
keel. Or the keel may have
two parts. inner keel and outer
keel. The outer keel fits over
the Joint between the planks
and the inner keel provides ex-
ira protection for the bottom.
The outer keel is sometimes re-
ferred to as q false keel.
The keelsOn pronounced
"kelson") is q stringer or tim
Der fastened along the keel in
side for reinforcement. The
skeg is q short, triangular
shaped piece that attaches YER
tically to the after end Of the
outer keel. 1t helps to keep
the boat on q straight course
The stem is the forepart OF
q standard hull, and is rabbeted

to receive the side planking. It
is attached to the keel and re-
inforced there with a stem
knee. The transom refers to a
fiat plank across the stern. In
a square-nosed hull, the fiat
plank across the bow is called
the bow trans0m.
The frames are attached to
the keel at right angles and
form the SHELTON over which
the planks are laid. At the
point where side and bottom
planking meet along the water
line, the timber extending fore
and aft and fitting into notches
In the frames is called the
chine. In V-bottom conStruc-
ton where the side and bottom
planks meet, forming a def
mite edge, 1t is sometimes re-
ferred to as a hard chine.
The clamp is a piece extend
ing from stem to stern, joining
the tops of the frames. Deck
beams complete the skeleton
framework Of the hull running
athwartships and joining the
tops Of the frames in the fore
and aft sections. In the mid
sections. where cabin or cock
pit intervene, the deck beams
are fastened to timbers called
carlines. The finished or dressed
piece covering the carlines is
called the cOmbing.
One of the frequently mis-
named parts Of a boat is the
quarter knee. 1t is called every
thing from a corner brace to
a bracket. but a quarter knee
it is. joining the transom and

New Boy Chart Help to AncIers

Anglers who fish Chesapeake
Bay from small boats, includ-
ing rented skiffs with outboard
motors, will be interested in
a new nautical chart, No. 554,
recently published by the Coast
and Geodetic Survey. It covers
the Honga. Nanticoke and WI
comico Rivers area and also
Fishing Bay over on the East
ern Shore. Fishermen find
these charts invaluable in re-
vealing drop-offs and bars
where fish are likely to be
found. This chart can be pur-
chased from the Coast and
Geodetic Survey, Room 1928,
Commerce Building, Fifteenth
and Constitution avenue NV.

Homer Circle Of James
Heddon's Sons sent us q
bulletin some time back on why
fish hit lures. He points out
that anglers have caught large
mouth bass with their stom-
achs so full Of crawfish that
the last one eaten protruded
from the bass throat. We per.
sonally have caught small
mouth bass with the tails Of
bluegills = they'd swallowed still
sticking out Of their mouths.
So 1t isn't just hunger that
makes fish hit lures. Bluefish
will gorge themselves, re-
gurgitate all the food and then
gorge again, repeatedly.
Circle also points out that
whereas. dry fly purists believe
1t necessary to 1ish for trout
with tiny flies on almost invis-
ible leaders. some dumb angler
will come along with a lot Of
spinning spoons hanging one
behind the other and rounded
of with a streamer at the end.
He'll troll this mess of hard
ware and catch trout. It GER
tainly isn't hunger that at
tracts fish to this sort Of q
gadget.
Anglers can profit from these

more commotion than usual;

We are looking forward with
pleasure to the dove hunting

great numbers Of these fine
birds perched on wires. darling

Jump-shooting them in the

Is one of our best-liked sports.
We know some hunters who
take q 12-gauge gun with mod

doves, using No. . shot In skeet
loads. Personally we use . .41O
pump for jump shooting loaded
with No. . shot. 3-inch shells
and q modified barrel.
For pass shooting we find
that q l6-gauge double. with

about right. and here, too, we

and their flesh tender, but they

When she first learned of
the Colorado incident, Mrs.
Groves was under the impress
sion that an individual child
had been selected to carry the
flag in the pageant and then
denied that privilege. she
pointed out in an interview
here at national headquarters.
On that assumption she
asked the Colorado regent,
Mrs. Richard Carlson. to buy
a flag and give it to the young
ster in the name of the national
society.
She later was informed, she
said, that no individual child
was involved-that Mrs. Rush's
comments were general in
nature.
AS visual evidence that the
Denver chairman's remarks
did not reflect OAR policy she
pointed to photograph Of an
