planking ships

[bandido]

I have a question concerning planking? should the stern or transom planking overlap the hull planking or vice versa same in the forecastle area I have seen it done both ways on some builds which way is correct?

Hello Bandido, as far as I know double planking is a freedom for model makers, no boat has double planking

i think the hull planking overlaps the stern planking.

There is a on-going discussion about it (or better I followed already a discussion in the past)
In my opinion the hull planking is overlapping the transom planking

Here some photos on my Le Coureur

also confirming this is the photo of this "real" wooden ship

Welcome to Fishermen's Voice

On historic ships the ending of the hull planking are covered with a ornament or a finishing rail or taffarel.
This was helping to protect against rot

This is a contemporary model of the HMS Speedwell, model built in 1752

It is visible, that the wales and side hull planking extended aft and past the planks of the counter

also Jean Boudriot is showing it in the same way in his plansets, here f.e. the Le Cerf

that's what I thought

 

[WDO]

I agree hull planking overlaps stern planking. To do the opposite also looks wrong!

The planks have to be inserted in the Transom part.

Actually, double planking is sometimes used on yachts. There are YouTube videos of full size boat builds that show this. Full size builds are a useful resource for model makers. However, your comment is probably correct regarding ships. There is a difference between boats and ships (US Navy definition), just as boat-builders and shipwrights can be seen as two different trades.

Please do not use this knowledge to fashion scale models of conflict vessels. Please build models that represent joy and production, not fear and destruction. Please do not show war implements to children.

J Merton, it may well be that I don't know between Builders and Masters of Axes but, with all due respect of You, I don't think you are up to explaining it to me

My addition to the conversation was in no way intended to insult your intelligence. If my choice of words were interpreted this way, I am sorry. Yet it remains a fact that boats are indeed sometimes double planked and that boats and ships are two different classes of construction. Again, if I hurt your feelings, this is never my intent and I sincerely apologize.

nothing happened, thank you very much for answering me, good life

Hi, I think this issue is a STORM in a GLASS OF WATER. There will always be some misunderstanding here as we are now about 9000 members- in my point of view to , many -and spread over the hole word, but WE are not all born speaking English, so does not the UK speaking will have tp learn it., but sometimes one make a word or two- which in your own language is OK -but translated into another language can have completely another meaning I have over my time here been misunderstood a few times myself. el capi
