Planking the hull

The first hull plank is placed under the planksheer. Each plank is tapered at the ends to fit into the bow nose and transom. The rule is no less then 5 bulkheads per plank, 2 planks between the seams , no running seams. Run 1 ban of each series "A" "B" "C" eye ball for smooth stream line. Drill each plank 5/64" into each bulkhead using 5/64" dowels made from stock. This will insure tight fit against bulkheads and give a smooth finish, all planks are glued. Razor cut and sanded dowels once it has dried. Hull spaces will be filled with wood putty primed and painted black with a red bottom detailed with a white line running alone the planksheer.
