Senza Timone Posted July 12, 2021 Share #1 Posted July 12, 2021 Can be almost as much work as planking the ship hull. I have seen some clever clamps to hold the plank in position but they are two big for the ship boat. I whipped up a couple that work great. Should have made it earlier.

allanyed Posted July 12, 2021 Share #2 Posted July 12, 2021 Without Helm, Hope you don't mind a little constructive information as building these little guys can be harder than the full size hull at times. If you would like the scantlings for everything on the boat, please feel free to PM me. Just need to know the length and type of boat for which the scantlings would be. There are "how to" posts on planking small boats like yours here at MSW. I notice that you seem to have run out of room at the bow because the planks are not tapered as they move forward so maybe consider taking a look at Druxey's recent build log (click on the image below) for some great tips on making a ship's boat. I think you will find this to be extremely helpful in making a boat that looks great.
