Peterd,
The IOM is a nice boat, I have sailed them but don't own one. Our club just sticks with the US1M and the Soiling 1M. Good point on the number of boats waiting to hit the pond, should be exciting when the day comes! Joe ๐ ▲

Looking forward to seeing this progress. Sailing an older IOM homebuild over here in Aussie and love the boat. I think there are a lot of new boats almost ready to hit the water, just waiting on the go-ahead.

Great that you are in a place to continue your hobby.
I look forward to your progress as I have never seen a racing boat build. With respect to shutdown, here in Scotland it has taken four months of lockdown to drive inflections to single fiqures. Today we can now go to a restaurant, pub etc. However things are not normal. Wearing of masks, social distancing , etc. Anyway keep safe. ▲

Pete,
Thank you. This is just my second laser frame build. It's a good thing I put together my Star 45 hull first or I would not known how helpful the slots are for removing the hull from the building board. Joe ▲

Hi Pete,
I will try to show the process I am going through on the planking, however, keep in mind it's new to me so I don't want to lead anyone in the wrong direction. We will see how it ends up I will try to do a sketch to show how I am tapering the planks..... Thanks for the interest. Joe ๐ ▲

Martin555,
I hope I get the hang of it! The intent is to fiberglass it with very light .75oz cloth, so as long as i can get a nice smooth surface I will be happy. Joe ๐ ▲

Can never have too many clamps. (Or the wifes pegs) Looking good. I am still learning patience but is a great asset. Looking forward to the next round of photos.

Regarding tapering I will put together something to explain it, like a sketch and calcs. It's simple but I need to figure out how to explain it in a post, today or tomorrow... Joe ▲

Hi Joe, as Rooky said,- a Stanley Surform pocket plane, (actually stamped on it) I've had my 2 versions since the 70's , very handy for certain softer timbers and auto panel filler ('bog') before it sets hard. Planking's looking good so far.

How did you calculate the taper for each plank Joe?
The rasp like thing, don't know what you would call it in the USA, but here in the UK we sometimes call it a Surform, named after the company who makes them. Cheers, Pete๐ ▲

Pete,
Thanks for your continued interest! Yes, every hull is different, my numbers are just that, my numbers for this hull. It actually took less time to do than it did to type up an explanation. It's simple once you get the hang of it. But when I first tried to figure this out from internet searches I was quite confused!! ๐ Joe ๐ ▲

Many thanks Joe, it will take me a while for it to sink in, but no problem as I don't have a hull to practise this on at the moment, just a query, I presume all the data will change depending on the size of the hull๐
