I'm curious which was/is the more common term, whiskey plank or shutter plank? I always knew it as the shutter plank. smile.gif

Oh yes, CONGRATULATIONS!!! As the others said NEED PICTURES!!!!! :D

Thanks all! Pics soon come. There's a bit of cleanup to do, longboarding and so on, and then I'll show her off.

Because she is double-diagonal planked, her "shutter" plank which closed off the hull was different than her "whiskey" plank which is the last plank to go on. Mercifully, they were only 20 days apart.

Now that you mention it & I think about it some, the whiskey plank & the shutter plank don't necessarily have to be the same plank, do they (even on a traditionally planked carvel hull).

Oh right, sorry, it's the larger Handybilly, redrawn by Harry Bryan, and re-redrawn by Doug Hylan for double-diagonal ply planking on the bottom and ply topsides.

Thanks. Neat boat, I always liked the concept.

On a related note, just today I read in MAIB that Southport Island Marine in Maine is going to start building 21' Handy Billys in That Other Material. Hopefully Mr. Bryan will recieve a nice litte royalty for his design.

See page three in the Pretty in Plywood thread for the current object of my desire: Phil Bolger's HOPE, another economical power boat.
