ECK Posted Friday at 11:33 AM Share #91 Posted Friday at 11:33 AM Will finish first planking this weekend but also having same issues. The bluff bow looks nice but actually harder to plank than more traditional bow point. Ronald-V 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ECK Posted Saturday at 06:04 PM Share #92 Posted Saturday at 06:04 PM First step is to glue the false keel. I temporarily attached the stern post to get the high correct. Also added some wood filler to fill the empty space and allow something to glue to planks. I followed Chris' advice and first clamped the upper bulwark in place (having soaked and bent into place and dried overnight). Subsequently glued and pinned the first plank line and also glued and clamped the bottom line of planks. The removed the upper works so not to mess up during the gluing and sanding.

DB789 Posted 9 hours ago Author Share #93 Posted 9 hours ago Hi Eck, your Adder is looking super, hope you’re enjoying building her as much as I am. I think that the last two posts were probably meant for your build log?

ECK Posted 8 hours ago Share #94 Posted 8 hours ago Sorry, my bad. Sometimes the site is not the easiest to get to the correct place. DB789 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DB789 Posted 8 hours ago Author Share #95 Posted 8 hours ago Making some good progress on the ratlines, just the main topmast ratlines still to do. I have added the fore topgallant shrouds too. As always, plenty of room for improvement! Once the shrouds/ratlines are complete, I’ll fit and rig the bowsprit and spritsail yard. I’ll follow the build order in the instructions after this which suggests adding the yards, boom and gaff (all yet to be made). I’m a little worried they will be in the way when I add the stays, but I guess it’s the case vice versa too?
