Hello all,
Building the Mamoli model Yacht America (1851). First layer of planking completed. The second layer calls for copper tiles below the water line. Supplies include 4 mm copper foil tape roll. The plans are vague and images are not to scale. Looks like the tiles are rectangular in the drawings, but some variation in long axis. Looking for suggestions as to whether the tiles should all be cut to the same length and if so how to do that. Also would like some thoughts on final finishing of the copper.
Looking forward to hearing from any of you. Phil
