Planking (the beginning)




In june of 2008 I began planking the sides of the boat. I knew that this would be a challenging stage of the opperation, and I was right. Glueing up the scarf joints is in the past and they were actually a lot easier than I thought they would be. Spilling no the garboards (or the first planks that meet the bottom of the boat) was probably the easiest. I used red rosin paper to get the shape, cut them out oversized and used a lot of clamps and screws to put them on. Once i faired them up that is.
