Planking the launch


Planking

This bit's nice. Cut up some balsa and stick it to the edge of the deck and rail. Big bits for the front and sides, little bits around the back where the curve is tighter - as you can see in the photo. This is proper traditional model boat construction as practised through the centuries. I can almost feel the hand of history on my shoulder...
