In ship building, it is common practice to do the planking in steps. You do the garboard, wich is the plank closest to the keel, you do the uppermost plank, and you do one streak in the middle. This middle plank should be placed at a point that is found by laying a straightedge (or a string) from the keel rabbet, and up to the first point it touches on the frame. Mark this point on each frame, and connect them together with a batten. Check to see that the line is fair and smooth, and mark it out. You can fit a plank above or below this line, or center the plank on the line. This is called a "sheerstrake plank" it is the plank the hull should rest on, if it lay on it's side. Now divide the frames from this plank and up to the uppermost plank equally. If you decide to do, say eight planks, divide the distance on each frame into eight equal widths. Do the same from the plank and down. (This example would give you 1+1+1+8+8 strakes of planking) Connect each line of dots and make sure they are a fair line, adjust if necessary. (Fair strakes are more important than perfectly equal spacing of the planks) The planking above and below the sheerstrake does not have to be an equal amount, the shape of the hull will decide this. If a "stealer plank" is necessary, it usually happens at the stern just above the garboard. Take your time doing this process, and you'll have a more beautiful hull and one that is easier to build.

Hi, thank you for your detailed description, very useful when it comes to planking the hull. the main reason I have done these simplified videos was that kit manufactures are lacking or providing totally incorrect instructions when it comes to planking.

Thank you. I had a really hard time with this part. Just a suggestion the Amazon 1/30 scale boat kit 20 bucks is well worth it. My first boat. Hopeing soon I can make my own rc boat trawler and have some fun building it. Thanks again.

Tremendous good video. I have just a question? Why do you use the planking fan a not just calculate the width? What is the advantage of it?

@g-kip 8 ай бұрын

Hi Peter thanks, no real reason, it is slightly quicker, less calculating to do I guess.
