RLWP Posted February 16, 2015 Report Share Posted February 16, 2015 Cant has the same meaning for railway coaches. The cant rail is where the sides meet the roof, although with modern monocoque construction I don't think its an actual rail any more. That will be from the same origins - horse carriage building Richard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FadeToScarlet Posted February 16, 2015 Report Share Posted February 16, 2015 It's amazing how much brass you can polish when there's no TV to distract you. Most outside brass is within the arm's reach of the steerer- so you can do it on straighter, boring pounds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ray T Posted February 16, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 16, 2015 (edited) I've shown this elsewhere, named parts by Mr E Paget-Tomlinson Of interest he only refers to "cants" on the fore and aft of the boats.

RichardN Posted February 21, 2015 Report Share Posted February 21, 2015 A few of the trading boats sell tiller pins so worth looking out for them. We just got a spare from http://www.dracocrafts.com/xcart/tiller_pins, well made, understood my delivery instructions, really pleased. Had it chromed since so now it is looking even more fantastic.
