Bulkheads done. I have seen many of you glue up your hull in diagonal planking as I am planning to do as seen here. No rabbet but instead I glued 1/4” curved sections between the bulkheads which will allow me to securely glue the strips from keel at a 45deg angle and secure to the sheer.

Yes Martin. The bulkheads are marked for cutting out the centres. In these photos I am aligning the supports with the keel, then glueing the supports but not the keel or bulkheads. Much work to do on the keel before securing. Thanks. RB

This is harder than anything I have tried thus far, but I think it is coming. Three more bulkheads up front to do yet, and #5 needs to be redone.

Below the bulkheads is the keel. The bulkheads stop at the rabbet line.

After drawing up on AutocadLt, the model was plotted at 1-1/2”= 1’ making the model 25” . Here is a paper mock-up half hull to see if the drawing was accurate. All seems to be good on paper.

Could you post some photos of these various techniques of planking you have used along with examples from the actual full size boats? Most helpful, thanks.

📝 From Canada to Cornwall
2 months ago by Ron ( Sub-Lieutenant)

We have a Garmin GPS with current UK maps loaded in it. Also discovered there are Hop on Hop off buses in the Penzance area, which I am so glad my wife is favourable about using.
I remember driving some twisting curvy roads through the woods with a 50 mph speed limit. My wife gets motion sickness on roads like that, so here I am doing about 35! The locals were too happy with me 😡☹️ I can just image narrow winding roads in walled and hedge rows, plus sheep herds just around the blind corner! Yikes... Take the bus 😍

I try to rent an automatic transmission vehicle, just one thing less to think about when driving. I have never tried shifting gears with my left hand, I suppose the gear shift is the same as here. H with 1, down 2, over and up or forward 3 and back or down 4 with Neutral in the middle.Ah, but then there is those overdrive gears, 5&6...🥴

My wife and I are making plans to see areas of Cornwall in a few months. Falmouth, the Lizard Point, Penzance, Land’s End and so forth, plus a few days in London and Bath, possibly Exeter too.
Are there any boat builder and clubs to greet along our travels? Going by train, and rent a car in several places to see the sights. Yes I know you drive on the other side of the road and the driver sits differently too.🤪

If I do not think I could hand paint these letters, how am I going to make a stencil?
First, use the word processor, next find the right size font, then print it out. cover font with tape, next take a sharp razor knife and cut each letter out! Now, place on boat hull and cover unwanted areas to protect from over spray.
Fine on a flat surface, but not on the slanted stern plate that is also curved...
Any other ideas???

Navigation lights working! Hand Railings are on and Safety Rings in place. Twin horns too. Waiting for the pilot wheelhouse furnishings and a 4 bladed prop.
Then, the long awaited Spring Thaw 😃
