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?

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. Dave H

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