Regards delboy271155 (Derek) Hi Derek and thanks for looking in... The planking isn't too bad, just have to take your time to get the best possible results... .. Pleased you like the correction but shouldn't have had to make it in the first place.....  .. Back on track though... Thanks again, Regards Alan

Planking going a little slowly just now mainly because I am taking my time and secondly am only able to spend just over an hour an evening working on her...  .. Would love to do more but afraid just now the time isn't there.... Hoping to push on a little at the weekend.... .. Still, it will take as long as it takes.... Here's a couple of pics just to show progress. Think she will look great once sanded and varnished.. ... Regards Alan Gandale attached the following image(s):

That is really impressive planking there Alan, the bow tapering especially is so graceful and shows off the hull curve beautifully. ! Well done. (And I'm really glad I'm painting my VIc!)

I have got to hand it to you Alan,that planking is astounding for a first timer!!!! .Just one minor point and it is minor,when you taper your next plank for the bow,try and do it in a bit of an arc.When you look at the last plank you have laid it has a flat spot to it.I'm sorry if I sound nitpicky but if you do this you will have just about PERFECT runs to the planks when viewed from all angles. Kind Regards Nigel

(And I'm really glad I'm painting my VIc!) Robin Thank you Robin for the very positive comments, it is so appreciated... .. Am very pleased with how it is looking and suppose I am getting a little impatient to see how she will look fully planked, sanded and varnished... .. Thanks again... Regards Alan

Time for a quick update. Carried on with second planking of the lower hull and have now completed the first 15 rows, all except one final strake to attach to the stern which will be a little time consuming so will leave that one for tomorrow.... .. I am still determined to complete this without any planks tapering to a point, so far so good... Tomorrow, next plank to lay is the garboard plank then hopefully plain sailing from then on.... Once treenailed, lightly sanded and varnished I feel she is going to look like something I am going to be very happy with.... .. Pics of the stern look a little darker than they actually are.... having flash problems with the camera.... Thanks for looking in.. Regards Alan Gandale attached the following image(s):
