Kevin reacted to kiwiron in OcCre "Save The Date" Release?
Build what you like it is your ship. The Facebook page has good info and you tube has lots of good videos. Personally I like it and people should always encourage others. I have had lots of support here and hopefully I can help others.

Update:
Closed the second band on both sides, so now i'm about the halfway point of the hull. Progress feels really slow, but I thought I needed about a half year for the hull planking, but i'm nearly 2 months underway, so that's a faster then I expected.
I think I have the more difficult strakes behind me, apart from the garboard strake. But who knows...maybe there are some difficult planks here and there...we will see.
I'm still having fun with planking!
By the way...it needs to see a piece of sanding paper yet.
