Arrangement of the Stern.

KeeLson
\

Fig 11.
The construction of the stern is very similar to that of the stem.
The line separating the apron from the sternpost indicates the
position of the rabbeting for taking the ends of the planking.
Note the iron stern hand. This is fitted from a point just under the
lower gudgeon round the keel, under the keel, and extends far enough
forward to take the three through bolts securing the lifting hook
attachment.
The three shaded pieces are the timbers which lie on top of the hog
piece but underneath the keelson.
