donrobinson got a reaction from Archi in Help reading plan
I am not saying this is the case for your schooner, but on my Trabaccolo the hawse hole is also situated below deck level according to the plans. I moved mine higher to be above deck level, however, after some research I found that the hole was located properly on the plans but drilled at an extreme angle to go though the deck then (in real life) lined with a lead pipe to help drain any water. Raising the position will be much easier and also save putting another hole in the deck

Is that going to be a cross section or the full ship? She'll be a biggy .

Windows look great Dave. The ebony trim really sets them off

So happy to see an update.
The yellow cedar is a beautiful addition. I had a little bit of a laugh with your comment about bending the wale planks, not easy but you found a way of accomplishing it. Good stuff. She is looking good and you are doing a super job.
I'll be looking forward to your next update.

Your scupper planks look great, as does all the planking. Super work. I wish I could tell you the hard part is over

That planking looks great Ian. Your technique, whether it is historically correct or not, has turned out a beautifully planked hull and that is what we are striving for and what you have accomplished. I have seen pictures of a Trabakul being restored and it had strakes that did not go completely from bow to stern but stopped well short of either end. I suppose at 35mm wide = almost 4 ft in real life would they have had access to planks this wide and could they actually handle something this large and heavy. I do not have the answers, however, I do know I like the looks of yours

Excellent job on the planking Ian, it may have taken longer but it was well worth the extra effort. Holidays coming up?

Hey Doug, yep that's what I'm saying using the broken end as a punch, as for a clamp just use some double sided tape. The 1 mm bit is the size I use for making these holes
