Hello everyone. I have just joined the forum having found this site while looking for information about model building.
A few years ago my wife bought me the HM Chatham Yacht kit and I have waited until retirement to start the build - my first wooden model............
I am at the stage of planking and have read numerous articles and watched videos and so I had a good idea of how to go about this. However, every ship is different. I am at the stage of putting the top planking onto the bulwark tabs and there is nothing in the instructions or on-line, that I can find, that provides detail on where/how to attach the planking at the bow, particularly as the planking is above the keel and has a gap in the middle for the bowsprit.
Hope this question is not too simple for you all, don't want to waste your time
thanks
brian
