Hallo,
I made wales and extra planks.
Wales are 5mm wide and 3.5mm thick.
These dimensions are slightly too large compared to shipwrecks .
After several attempts for bending the wales. I gave up ..
cold water, hot water, very hot water, steaming.
Ramin 5mm at 3.5mm will simply not bend enough.
So plan B.
The front part of the wale at the bow is hand sawed from a solid piece of ramin.
And is glued.
The rest of the wale is then also
