Ross

[J. Dillon]

Planking is atlantic white cedar from J.D. England. Salty stuff; I wish there was some local wood that is suitable... I do most of my WBF surfing @ work so I cannot bring up the Bikini thread! :( Rick

[J. Dillon]

Too bad Rick, lots of nice curves there. smile.gif Not much for the ladies here at WBF. Maybe ya can post a few images of your curvy "Cathrine" in the Bikini thread;)

Absolutely beautiful. And another clean shop. I think we should start a nasty shop thread. I am sure I would place well!

Looks good and fair from here. Please keep us posted as you complete the topside.

First time I have seen Catherine in the flesh. Why does she remind me of the Joel White Catspaw? The transom appears to be a very moderate wineglass compared to many of the Whitehalls.

Abe, that's what I was going to say (I seem to be following you around). Most Whitehalls can be really well loaded before the transom immerses, which I one reason I like the design.

I cleaned the shop for the pics, it was pretty bad before. I think Rich drew the transom a bit less 'extreme' for ease of planking by amateurs. He calls for planing 'flats'on the transom for the planks, but I followed Paul Gartside's advice and 'boiled' the plank ends and clamped them between curved blocks to shape them to the curve of the transom.

Rick,
she is just lovely ! Congratulations ! smile.gif smile.gif She is going to be a joy to row.

John B, here is my AUK, built in 2000. This 'traditional' boatbuilding is quite a bit different, though not more difficult. Rick
