Hello everyone,
first of all a thank you to the admins who opened this group building, also a thank you to Toni aka @Tonip who has put a lot of effort and commitment into getting this thing rolling and of course to all the others who have shown a keen interest in a group building Le Rochefort, because without you we wouldn't be where we are now.
As some of you know, I started with La Palme in February. Now starting with the small harbour yacht gives me the opportunity to teach even more, it will be a bit of a balancing act and I hope it will succeed. I already have Adrian's book and the monograph should be under the tree by Christmas (I love my daughters). I won't start planning until January.
Now for the types of wood I would like to use:
- Pear or (Swiss pear) for the hull, interior and the planks outside.
- Ebony for parts of the planks and various applications.
- Boxwood (Castello) applications.
- Tulipwood (magnolia) or American maple for the deck planks.
Built in admiralty style, starboard closed (planks)
Port side open, if necessary, frames will be removed.
Well then, I hope I haven't forgotten anything, but if I have, don't be afraid to ask.
