    Hi butterball,

     

    So these dory’s were clinker built (another word is lapstrake) This means that the planks above the garboard (the bottom most plank) will overlap a little bit, this is different than carvel planking where the planks are joined edge wise. I personally don’t know the benefit for one over another, clinker built seems like it would have been easier to build because you don’t have to caulk between the planks but I’m not entirely sure on that. Hopefully this illustration provides some more insight.

    this model is clinker built so this means that every plank except for the top one needs to be tapered to achieve a tight fit for the plank above it. Hopefully that makes some sense!

    Thanks I understand much better now.

    After planking (poor job I know, but I was happy to be able to do at all!). I distorted the intended lines at the bow end, due to my clamping method. I'll try and not do that again. . .

    I'm working on planking my dory now, do the planks set flush over the previous our does it over lap?

About the NRG

If you enjoy building ship models that are historically accurate as well as beautiful, then The Nautical Research Guild (NRG) is just right for you.

The Guild is a non-profit educational organization whose mission is to “Advance Ship Modeling Through Research”. We provide support to our members in their efforts to raise the quality of their model ships.

The Nautical Research Guild has published our world-renowned quarterly magazine, The Nautical Research Journal, since 1955. The pages of the Journal are full of articles by accomplished ship modelers who show you how they create those exquisite details on their models, and by maritime historians who show you the correct details to build. The Journal is available in both print and digital editions. Go to the NRG web site (www.thenrg.org) to download a complimentary digital copy of the Journal.
