Hi Stuart,
I think you will enjoy making this Tug. Looking at the boats in your Harbour i don't think you will require much help, But if you do then just shout and i am sure the members here will give all the help you need. Good luck with the build I will be following. Congratulations on your promotion to Chief Petty Officer 2nd Class. Martin555. ▲

Hi Stuart will you put the frame on a building board to make sure every thing is strait before you plank the hull.If not a board can you clamp it to a flat surface to do a few planks on both sides thous helping to insure a strait hull.

When building real wooden boats, after the garboards were fitted, one then planked up one plank at a time on alternate sides, usually starboard side first, then port. With minor adjustments the first plank would be a pattern for it's opposite number. The next plank would be laid up against it's predecessor in order to ascertain it's shape. Every plank on each side would be different from the one it followed. Distortion of the hull would take place if the one plank at a time rule was not followed.
Cheers, Nerys ▲

One method I used on reluctant planks Stuart was to soak them in hot water for a few minutes - then dry off with a paper towel - pin them in place & leave them to dry out (one each side) . Give them a couple of hours to dry before attempting to glue. Longer if using anything other than white (PVA) waterproof glue. Learnt the hard way epoxy & cyano don't like damp wood.......
You are making a great job of this boat. ▲

Looks great makes me want to get on with mine. Not sure if this will help but when I had to bend planks on my yacht deck I used an old steam iron on full steam to soften them and it worked well.
