Rat-Fink-A-Booboo Posted April 21, 2017 Share #1 Posted April 21, 2017 I am building (first build) Lynx, Mantua Panart. The hull is double planked and per the instructions each side will be 2.5mm thick. The keel, into which I am cutting the rabbet is only 5mm thick. Clearly this is not thick enough for all four planks to sit in their rabbets. Do any of you splendid folk have any advice. I was thinking I would not take the first skin into the rabbet and sand the planks down to the barding line. Then only put the outer skin into the rabbet. This, however would probably mean single thickness only in the dead wood area at the stern. Any thoughts? thibaultron, Eddie and mtaylor 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
