Double vs single planking?


Recommended Posts

Total newbie question here. I'm about to start a solid hull kit (if I win it on eBay) but if I catch the bug I'll undoubtedly want to try a planked kit next. I keep seeing references to double planking,especially as it being easier for beginners. What exactly is double planking, and why would a beginner do better with that type of kit? Thanks

A model shipwright and an amateur historian are heads & tails of the same coin
