Glued first row planks. As much as possible filled the spaces between bottom plank and the planks. Remainder will be filled with filler and strengthened with fiber strips inside and outside.
Next is shaping stringers with first plank on so that second row planks will fit nicely.
Send weekend in a row working on the second row of planks for the dink. That is impressive. The lower planks still need gluing but its better to wait until the next row of planks is measured.
Used a long straight edge plank with small pop sickle sticks glued at the right position to spile the planks. Works the easiest. Left 1cm of tolerance on the upper side of the planks which hopefully is enough to absorb measurement mistakes. These are usually cause by the the double bends in the banana shape of the plank.
Huge gaps all over the place, but these will all be gone by the time we have filled epoxy in these gaps, covered with fiber mats.
There is a world of difference between my hobby-plywood-building and guys like Leo working on Tally-Ho. I thoroughly enjoy looking at their work. Their postings on Friday are the highlight of my week.
There is something very cool about humans making things. Especially floating and sailing things...
