Welcome Dave. Don't know if the OCD thing runs rampant here but it's something I deal with often. But if I built everything perfect there wouldn't be any challenges left to keep me building. Hang in there and enjoy the hobby.

Been quite awhile since my last post. Its been a bumpy few months with the holidays and coming down with a mild case of pneumonia. At 73 years it took almost 2 months to get over that and still the cough lingers. But feeling better now and some progress has been made on the model. Topline has been trimmed, wale marked, bulkheads faired, shims installed where necessary, transom and counter installed, garboard plank and broad strake installed and dark thread used to designate planking bands. All of this has taken some time to try and get everything just so and required multiple attempts. I think I installed the garboard plank at least 3 times and ended up tearing it out each time until I was satisfied. Sorry for the lack of pictures, will try to get back to taking more as the planking proceeds. But here is where I sit right now. As suggested by Toni I will take a break and take a fresh look at the planking bands tomorrow before proceeding any further.

While I have used CA in the past for hull planking, I currently use Titebond Thick and Quick. Have been very happy with this product with its quicker dry time. And it dries clear.

Welcome from another sailor. While I'm landlocked now I spent years sailing different sloops from 18 foot to 50 foot. Sailed most of the Great Lakes as well at the Leeward Islands. My last boat was a S2 9.1 meter sloop. I love the old model you have. Stripping it down reveales many of the build techniques and makes a great project. I'm sure you will find the help you need here as well as great mates. Dave -
Welcome Jerry! While I don't possess the skils necessary for your project, perhaps you could post some pictures of the needed work so people on this site can give their input/advice.

Welcome to the forum! Great people here.

Two people working on the same model is an interesting concept. I would think it depends on how well you work together when performing other tasks. Perhaps trying it with a smaller model, such as a Pram or Lobster Smack, would be a good test.
