A double chine is another way of getting sort of a rounded bilge shape especially with plywood.Tweezermanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06559514473959503645noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4273883632460433399.post-86986589394666870432016-07-16T08:46:49.698-07:002016-07-16T08:46:49.698-07:00Cheers Tweezer :)

Then at some point people started adding in another chine. I wonder if this was based on testing/experience or from theory/thumbsuck.<br /><br />Anyway thanks for all this interesting information.<br /><br />Charles Nankin.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08360144223474524880noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4273883632460433399.post-30069837742707569942016-06-20T06:20:34.040-07:002016-06-20T06:20:34.040-07:00Charles,

Even Larry Huntington's next scow design was round-bilged. Round bilged Seawanhaka scows were predominant through the early 1900's and I assume the Midwest scows took their initial lead from the 1896 Seawanhaka competitions.Tweezermanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06559514473959503645noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4273883632460433399.post-87015719688501727682016-06-16T14:54:59.004-07:002016-06-16T14:54:59.004-07:00I am interested as to how the inland scow classes ...I am interested as to how the inland scow classes as we see them today came to have rounded bilges as opposed to the simple chines of Question, Swallow and others.Charles Nankinnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4273883632460433399.post-43011162943777511122016-04-28T17:47:30.663-07:002016-04-28T17:47:30.663-07:00Patti,

I don't know of any collector/historian for the early scows (though there may be someone in the Midwest but they generally are interested in the Midwest history). I would enjoy a photo of the trophy and some history on how it was acquired.<br /><br />Email me at tweezer.sailing :with our good friends over at: gmail.comTweezermanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06559514473959503645noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4273883632460433399.post-79528202860704748792016-04-27T10:22:06.260-07:002016-04-27T10:22:06.260-07:00Hi.

I am wondering if this would be of monetary value to a historian/collector.<br /><br />Gratefully.<br /><br />Patti DillonPatricehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10463756987772037770noreply@blogger.com
