Forming a garboard
I am building the Model Shipways Pinnace. There is a log at this site but I wanted to ask the question here.
The garboard (along with most else) has been vexing me. Today while looking at the plan sheet I thought maybe this would work to give me as good a garboard as possible. I laid a strake on the plan and traced (2D I know) how it would lie on the model. I then xatco cut the line where it would attach and slipped the strake through the back. I have an instant and pretty exact angl
Something else if it's not too late.. The 2D plan doesn't take into account any curvature in other dimensions at this point..
Some spilling or other method may be in order, even though the amount of curving at the garboard is very slight..
Here is an example where I used masking tape to trace the shape of a plank on my Resolution.
Note how the shape of the plank when laid out flat, looks more curved than when traced on the hull.
