To avoid any nailing as much as possible when planking I use this simple method of modified binder clips , on the photo’s it shows a dry test run and no gap showing between the Gun wale and the deck , I use Tamiya acrylic paint ( colour US Navy white ) after priming and sanding sealer , as soon as the paint is dry I will start the serious planking, also I have decided to not going ahead with the double planking on the lower Hull and will paint it a bottom red as close as possible to the real Bluenose .
btw I had a look at other clamping tools , they might do the job and what I read in other posting the metal screw types aren’t really great , expensive and I don’t want to damage the frames.

When I started planking the hull , the top part dislodged itself ( I used wood glue so far ) and was going to use on the planking as well , I don’t think nailing is pretty hard too ,very hard to nail them through the plywood , so resorted to CA Medium glue for rapid strength and the clips worked very good to , the attached photo’s show todays result , I sanded a bit but once completed I will use filler as well and a final rub down
