I also thought if it was one piece, it would be easier to make sure that the decks and gunwales were lined up with each other and symmetrical.Great to see your log up and running Carl.
I think you are wise to build the hull in one complete piece. I constructed mine in the two halves as suggested in the instructions. To be honest I couldn’t see any real advantage that way.
Have fun.

HiHi
I believe that the constructive process of my St Roch can help you.
I have to warn, that the jib picked up like this in the bow stay is not correct
The jib must be collected in a package in the stay anchorage with the foredeck
Cheer up!

Hello Carl, if I remember correctly I used the same ones as the hull planks. The center for’d one (in line with the name) was filed into that curve you can see. The topmost plank was trimmed as necessary.I have a question..What kind of strips did you use here (see arrows). Were these the same as the hull planks or the narrower ones?
Thanks Roger..Hello Carl, if I remember correctly I used the same ones as the hull planks. The center for’d one (in line with the name) was filed into that curve you can see. The topmost plank was trimmed as necessary.
(Edit: I just checked the model itself and it looks like I used thinner width planks aft but the same thickness as the hull planks - testing my memory )
Question: what did you use to cover the lifeboats? Your photos will be of great help!Hi

@Bwb1cdn Hi Brian, if you mean a “build log” then no I’m sorry to say. I finished it before joining SOS. However, there are other photos of my build in the completed ship section if that is any help. I also have some photos of a dory in the museum in Lunenburg, Nova Scotia.Roger did you do a build on the launch I see in your post picture. Brian B
