    Looks Good Michael, To get a nice planking job you will want to line off your planks, ( narrow on the bow and stern and wider in the middle ) here is a pic of Joel Whites Haven 12 1/2 to illustrate. Best Regards, Pete

    With all the Family functions now out of the way, I started by cutting out the hole in the Transom to allow the Tiller to pass thru. I then decided to add a piece of birch to the inside of the transom ( cockpit side ) and then gave the Transom more shape. I then built and installed the aft Deck. I then started on the Main deck framing. Next will be to finish the Main Deck framing and install the Deck. Here are the results

    I hope that everyone had a Merry Christmas, I was able to sneak in some building time last night and this morning, ( Before the New Years Eve Extravaganza ) I started by framing in the cockpit seat walls ( the proper seat height was also something that I wanted to get right on this build ) I then installed Birch plywood ( Stained Cherry red ) to the framing, I then framed in the Cockpit locker hatch openings ( at this point I decided to keep the Hatches in the shut position ) I then installed the pre-laid out and grooved birch ply for the seats. Next will be to Frame the Rear Deck, I hope that everyone has a Safe New Years eve and a Fantastic 2016. Here are the results

    Thank you, Jack, I am very happy with how she is turning out Thank you, Deon, I am planning to build the Joel White Haven 12 1/2 as my next build, in a 1" = 1' - 0" scale I have started a mock up just to see how things will work out. since I usually build models of Boats that I would like to own or go sailing on, and since I was a kid I wanted a Buzzards Bay 14. here's a pic of my Haven 12 1/2 mock up Best Regards, Pete
