russ Posted June 24, 2017 Author Share #151 Posted June 24, 2017 There was a little progress today. The planking is proceeding and, although it has not been sanded and is a little rough, it is getting there.

russ Posted June 25, 2017 Author Share #154 Posted June 25, 2017 Some more progress. I have done some sanding on the port side planking to see what I had and, while there are some areas I am not happy with, it is not too bad.

russ Posted June 28, 2017 Author Share #159 Posted June 28, 2017 Had some more time for a few more planks. What can I say? I am having fun. The ports ide has two more full strakes and parts of two other strakes left to go. Then back to the starboard side.

russ Posted June 28, 2017 Author Share #161 Posted June 28, 2017 John: Thanks for looking in. I am taking pics mostly to get an idea of how the planking lines are shaping up and to check for any other issues. There are a few things that bug me, but that is pretty normal. Anyway, the camera can sometimes pick something up that my eyes do not. Before I forget (again), thanks to everyone for the likes.

russ Posted July 1, 2017 Author Share #164 Posted July 1, 2017 I could not help myself. The planking near the port bow is complete and there are only a few planks left to complete the entire port side. I always like how the run of the planking appears in the forward areas. Just had to share.

russ Posted July 2, 2017 Author Share #166 Posted July 2, 2017 Pat: Thanks. These luggers were really nice looking boats. The plumb stem made the lines forward that much more pleasing because it created a bit of hollow down near the forefoot. This is a later boat that was a bit longer and deeper for its breadth than some of the smaller, earlier boats from the 1930s.

russ Posted July 17, 2017 Author Share #176 Posted July 17, 2017 The starboard planking is complete below the bulwarks. Some sanding has been done, but there will probably be a bit more here and there. Three more planks on the port side and I will be ready to plank the bulwarks.
