Your logic and reasoning with how and why you chose to build the stem makes perfect sense to me. Excellent Job Bob....congrats on quite the milestone of planking and fairing the planks.

„I have too many clamps“ - no woodworker/boatbuilder ever said. Victoria will get a nice tender. Thank you for the explanation, initially I also thought Victoria will have visible planks. Painting makes sense, it is not a show boat but a working tender. Can‘t wait for the next episode.

Victoria is this tender. It's name comes from the sailboat, "Victoria", that was getting scrapped. This will be the tender for the sailboat "Arabella".

Looking good Bob. I commend both you and Steve for staying away from a bright finished hull. I think a lot of people would enjoy the strip planking method more if they did't have the anxiety of a bright finished result hanging over their head. Maintenance is easier too. I've had countless bright finished strip built canoes presented to me for repairs that were suffering from terminal epoxy and glass UV degradation due to varnish breaking down and not being refreshed in a timely manner. Getting caught out by the stem and cutwater width issue is an easy pitfall to find oneself in. It's not exactly intuitive. I personally always detail those elements out in my lofting process to avoid that mishap but only because I have found myself in the same shoes as yourself. I also sometimes fabricate the stem and cutwater separately due to the different material width requirements. Enjoy your impending date with the misery board Bob.

Bob, I have seen a lot of hulls planked over the years. I am planning on building a cedar strip canoe in the next year. Looking at Victoria's hull after your installation of the Whisky Plank, (arial view) the wood layout is artistic and beautiful ! What a unique pattern you have created with this small tender. I am sure that Steve is following along too. He is under so much stress not only with the time line marching down on launch day, but also with his mom. I just hope that she is around to see Arabella in the water. May God bless them both in these trying times. You, on the other hand, are a cool cucumber! Never rattled and showing us the "Art of Boatbuilding". Methodical and steady. Habits and methods that we all should heed and learn from. I get too "antsy" at times. Haste makes waste. I am a loyal watcher and fan. I can learn a LOT from watching you. Excellent craftsmanship and you are a good instructor ! !

Bob, I’m always enjoy the challenge of thinking about why you build the way you do, the steps you take to resolve problems or to tweak a design. I especially like tying to solve or pre answer my questions before you answer them for me or your wider audience. Sir, you have a gift of passing knowledge on, I would have loved to watch you do sculptures in years gone by, it would have been a fantastic journey to watch an artist explain what and why they did something. For us non artist mortals, you are an inspiration.
