Hi All...

>>Fairing of the hull - This is fully covered in the magazine, its a time consuming process which is to prepare the hull for planking, its particularly important at the bow and stern to form a smooth curve, and the width of the keel at the stern is thinned to 2mm (but do not chamfer its edges), <<

Do you think we will be supplied with a template for the correct curve?



Regards,
Ian

In a word NO. If you read Tomicks official build pages he suggests, and I do, that you use a thin plank to check the curve of the hull at bow and stern, making sure that the plank touches as much of each rib as possible.

The tips of issue 20 also recommends the use of a plank as a fairing check.
