planked hull primer?

[Rick Lindsey]

Does anyone have a link to some good instructions on how to plank a hull? I'm messing with solid hulls (wood for the moment and foam soon) but I'd like to start getting an idea of what's involved in planking one.

thanks,
Rick

Go to the AMYA web pages and then go to the US 1 Meter Class pages. Once there you will see a series of sections for construction hints and tip. Download all sections and you will have one great reference manual for boat building. The steps and instructions, the hints and tips all are for a one meter boat, but probably all of the info is valid in other size classes - either bigger in size or smaller.

Thanks, Dick. I'll go check it out. Right now my interest lies primarily in footy and RG-65 sized craft, but who knows where it will go!
