allanyed Posted November 28, 2022 Share #3 Posted November 28, 2022 Hi Mr. Design, What vessel are you building? The planking tutorial in the article data base by David Antscherl is worth some hours of study and use when doing your build. https://thenrg.org/resources/Documents/articles/APrimerOnPlanking.pdf Of particular importance is the following comment in that article. The point of this photo is to show the forward end of the first strake, the garboard strake. It should not be carried high up the bow rabbet: a common beginners’ error. If the garboard is carried up too high, the remainder of the hooding ends of the planks (the ends that fit into the rabbet) will be crowded together and be too narrow, or too many drop strakes will be required forward to compensate. There are details in a number of books and you can also study contemporary planking expansion drawings found on the RMG Collections site. https://www.rmg.co.uk/collections/objects/search/planking expansion plan If you use these, notice that there are both inboards and outboard planking expansions which must obviously be done differently.
