Truth vs Fiction

Was there any reason for the Crease? IMHO it's what makes the Cig's and Apaches!!!!

Looking at the construction of my boat, it looks like Bobby glassed the whole length of the crease for stiffness?? Love the way my boat is built, it's a brick chit house!! It just makes it a bit difficult when you have to run a few wires thru numerous bulkheads but who cares!

377 Kaamas and 38 KVs have also one... the difference in width comes from the upper kink in a Scarab.
Come to think of it...quite funny that a Scarab is 37.7 and a Cig flatdeck was a 37.6... and quite similar in their hulls...

By the way, Nick Chapman, who "plugged" many of the famous vee's, said that the 'knuckle' was the most difficult hullside feature, and never did another. All the other Ciggie type boats with knuckles, were direct "pops".

He was right the crease is hard to keep straight even with the tools we have nowadays.

Mikey, actually a Scarab is 37.6' (37' 7"); and yes isn't it an interesting coincidence, crease and all - Jeff
