Funny thing about wooden hulls. I read somewhere that in the 17th century the keel and hull were made of oak logs that had been floating in salt water for 10 years. I guess the replicas have been built out of freshly cut wood - as everything is built these days. So I guess they may have had a lot of torsion problems. Maintenance costs were no real problem in those days, labor was cheap. OK, back to modeling.
