Figure 236.—Lashing bow cover to gunwale:

Figure 236.—Lashing bow cover to gunwale:

a, upper surface, the bow cover (1) fits against the gunwales (2) on either side and by reason of the oblique join (c, 7) the lower surface of the end of the gunwale projects below the bow cover as shown by the dotted lines on the left. A hole (3) is bored through the cover downwards and backwards so that it passes through the solid part of the gunwale to the inner side of the part (4) that fits against the flange of the side section of the hull. b, Under surface with the narrow strip covered by the hull flange (4). The forward projection of the gunwale under the cover (1) is shown with the solid part (5) and the part cut away (6). The hole (3) from the bow cover side has emerged below through the solid part (5) of the gunwale to the inner side of the part (4) covered by the flange. c, Section through cover (1), gunwale (2), and hole (3), with oblique join (7). The braid is passed through the hole and comes up on the inner side in the angle between the cover and the gunwale, as shown by the lashing (8) in (a, and b).
