RE: [bolger] External chine logs
The external chine on Esther Mae (Tennessee) is typically the only point of
contact with the fender piles of a dock structure, and the vertical guide
poles on my trailer, keeping the sides from touching. Of course this only
applies to vertical sided vessels. Preferably only the dock fender touches
the dock, but life happens ya know! Also useable as a step, however narrow.

In a discussion with Graeme in Australia about the Folding Schooner I'm
building, I brought up the outside chine log question to see if, as a
long-time contributor to this site, he had any ideas about turbulence
from them. He suggested that an advantage of the outside logs was as
hand-holds in the event of a capsize. Hadn't thought of that, but as a
long-time practitioner of capsizing, I am delighted at the thought. I'm
planning side decks with foam floatation, and closed cell urethane
encapsulated in dacron as mini-topsails to prevent turtling.
