Vincent has a little more fine tuning of the hull before starting the planking. So I will go over to the general build logs and start a build topic on planking.

Hi Dave, Please try and cover the use of single plank using the fan, and using battens spileing, use of proportional diveders with or without the battens. THANKS AGAIN Don Farr

I've been working on making the corrections that some have suggested. I used some wood filler and sanding to try to get the hull into the correct shape and smooth enough for the next layer.

I'm not sure the photos properly display how she looks because in some she looks like a pregnant whale, but that's not how it looks in reality.

As always, your feedback and comments are welcome. I'd like to know if I am ready to proceed based on the way it looks now, or if more work on the hull is needed to avoid disaster later.

Thank you,
Vincent

it looks good, nice job of smoothing out the curves.

it could be just the angle or light but check the area by the blue arrows. There seems to be a little bump and dent when compared to the right side. Other than that your ready for planking.

if there is a bump don't be afraid to grind it out of there and patch it up

Good catch. Thank you. That side does need a slight bit of filling and smoothing. I noticed a small area in at the bow as well.
Your help is always appreciated.

Might also be worthwhile having a look where the planking runs on to the stern post. it looks as though you have a step half way up where the first planking starts. Maybe you can thin those first few planks down towards the edge.

Is this the area that you are referring to? I wasn't sure if that should be feathered into the keel or a step.

Any ideas on how I can fix this?

As the plank runs around the front of the bow, it also has to lay flat onto the hull. Sort of a bend and twist.
I'm a bit stumped on this.
Any help is appreciated as always.
Thank you,
Vincent
