How long did you soak the planks for Uwe?Yesterday I had one hour free time, so I was able to start with the other side of the inner planking
I make it the same way and order like the first side - starting with the plank close to the keelson

The last group it was one day, but this is much too long - because of shrinkage because of drying I have now partly some small gaps between the planks - so I guess one or only some hours only would be betterHow long did you soak the planks for Uwe?
Ach Ja -> and the strips are not getting softer with much more hours in waterThe last group it was one day, but this is much too long - because of shrinkage because of drying I have now partly some small gaps between the planks - so I guess one or only some hours only would be better
Yesterday I installed the last planks of sheet 1P and now I can really show the difference in the result.How long did you soak the planks for Uwe?
I have postponed these additional top timber for the time, when I remove the hull out of the jigUwe, I noticed that a few frames has double toptimber. Just wonder if you it is something you have forgot or postponed on purpose?
Looking great, Uwe. So, notches in the deck clamps are laser cut, right? Do you have to square them, so that beams sit perpendicular to the keel?Here I want to refer to my post #212
in which I mentioned the possible ending of the inner planking at midshipLE COUREUR - french Lugger 1776 - POF kit from CAF in 1:48 by Uwe
Very good build Uwe, your build log is exceptional and will be of great help to those building or thinking of building this wonderful kitshipsofscale.com
My "solutions are wrong, which I know in the meantime, latest tomorrow I will show you why I came to this conclusion.
Nevertheless I want to give you the hint already now, where the planks should end.
According my actual knowledge the planking should completely overlap and cover the frames 17 and 25 !!!

the beam notches in the clamps are caused by the laser cut in 90° rectangular to the clamp, means, that at midhsip they are well rectangular to the keel - going aft or fore you will have to adjust them slightlyLooking great, Uwe.
