C19 text correction

[erikgreen]

I was noticing the C19 stringer names on the plan are apparently reversed.. the longer stringer is labeled outboard and the shorter one inboard, which seems the reverse of what's on the overhead view.

Then I checked the web site for plan corrections, and found this quote:

"Friday, 18 November 2005
Page 3:The names of the stringers: The one on the left should be named outboard stringer, 10" from CL. The other one should be outboard stringer, 20" from CL."

So it sounds like they're all outboard stringers?

On the nesting plans I have the two pieces that make up the big inboard stringer were labelled inboard/outboard and inboard/inboard, which meant they both get glued together to make the one inboard stringer.

The two pieces that make up the smaller outboard stringer were labelled outboard/outboard and outboard/inboard.

All this is was correct.

The labelling does seem a little over the top considering there are only two different shapes to cut out and there can be little doubt as to where they go in the boat.

It is done this way because on some boats two slightly different shaped pieces are used in the one stringer. This is not the case with the C19.

Sorry erik I rambled on there and misunderstood what you meant.
Yes on my plans it did have the stringers labelled wrongly.
Anyway the one with the big bit on top goes on the outside,(sorry outboard), and the long one goes on the inside(oops inboard)

By "the big bit" you mean the one with the knee, correct?

I think that's the longer stronger, but it's a bit shallower too.

The two halves of the stringers on the C19 are the same dimensions... there's no step on the bottom as far as I can see, probably because it's simpler and the hull is large enough to not need it.

My gut says the stringers with the knee should be the inboards, because they're slightly longer. The outboard ones would be limited in length by the curve of the bow. But you're right, they're the other way. I reference this pic.. is this your boat?

So, problem solved, I think I'll get it right, assuming I can cut the slots correctly.

I still don't understand the text correction from the website I referenced in the first post, though

Eric on page 210/3 the Outboard stringer is the one on the left. It is the longest one and the one without the knees. It has a straight run of 11' 1/2" The Inboard stringer is the one with the knee and has a straight run of 8' 8 1/4" thus being shorter. The outboard stringer has a slot for the clamping board to slide down into.

The outboard stringer is also narrower at 7 5/8" throughout the 8' 8 1/4" straight length. While the inboard stringer is 9 1/4" deep through out its 11' 1/2" straight length.

Each stringer is made up of 4 peices of wood and those peices offset so the seams are not lined up with each other, per the cutting diagram.

The long stringer is then placed 10" from the centerline and the short one 20" from the centerline per the plans.

I hope this helps, sorry I missed your post earlier. I spent quite a bit of time studying these plans before deciding not to build the C19.

If you have any more questions please ask.

If I may ask? why?

[TomW]

Peter to big for what I need and want to use it for. What i need is a multi-purpose boat. Used on the lakes and rivers here in western North Carolina, at our cabin on the Mississippi River in Iowa, on Lake Michingan for salmon, and then on the ocean off the coast of NC. I even talked to Jacque about using foam on the inside on the inside to cut the weight. I just decided that 18' was the most I wanted and under 8' a 6-8" draft with a 60-75 hp engine not a 115. So as you will soon see I will have what I want by some changes to the C17.

OK clear, very curious what you come up with
