happy Easter to you my dear friend Tobias,
A very thorough preparation as a good basis for the planking, Tobias.Hello everyone.
Preparations for planking the hull have begun. While LR's hull was drying, I decided to continue working on La Palme and also prepare the planking of the hull. This time, I didn't make the same mistake as with LR and transferred all the dimensions from the plans to the hull. I only did this sporadically with Le Rochefort, and I think I'll be in for a real snag; I might have to dismantle one or two rows again.
Now for the preparation and the pictures.

I also built a small holding device in which the hull is secure and protected.

As you can see (orange tape), I'll be using the black hornbeam again all the way to the waterline; I did quite well with this on Le Rochefort. A few things need to be done differently or better, especially in the stern area and the curves, to achieve a straight edge.
See you soon with the first pictures.
Good evening Tobias. Welcome back- hope you had a lovely holiday. Brilliant preparation which will definitely make for good planking Cheers GrantHello everyone.
