Steve,
You are quite right, I intend to flip it over, build some jigs, when it's time to do the hull "planking". My methods are to experiment along the way on a Build, try different ideas along the way. Decided that I first wanted to build a very straight, rigid keel with stern and bow ribs first. That's why the build board is just a lightweight flat straight surface, I figure out how to clamp it best as I go. Your interest and comments are appreciated, it made me think more about the planking, thanks! Joe ▲

I'm assuming this will be a planked hull in which case would it not have been better to build the hull upside down?

Oops couple of spelling errors. Planning should read planking ... filler was the other word spelt incorrectly.

Hi Joe, My planning wasn't too good either. I used balsa strip to make it easier, filled in with filled and lined the interior with fine glass matt and resin. As I often become became in the lake I sail on in S.France I installed an on-board motor. I used part of a fiberglass fishing pole for the last and did away with the rigging to save time at the lake. It sails very well. Ra

Pleased to hear that you have resumed work on your ketch rigged barge.You were getting on so well with her when we last saw photos of the framework. Really looking forward to seeing the completed model as these 'big' barges are somewhat overlooked by most model barge builders.
All the best, Nerys ▲
