Hi All
Started my first build. Model Shipyards cutter Mermaid, a small boat, 56' in length, and a beam of 18'.
Having finished the first layer of planking, Ive decided to plank the deck prior to fitting the bulwarks.
Based on my limited exp, Ive decided to deviate from the plans and stagger the plank butt , however without fitting margin planks.
After reading Ulises Victorias great guide on planking, my only ques is re any rules concerning the number of planks used between butt joints and the size of a ship.
Thanks in advance...........what a great site.
Cheers
Mike
