The blue spots are spot putty filling in some depressions, scratches etc. Here the hull has been coated with epoxy and primed. Sanding the epoxy essentially completed the planking!! Here we see the transom tumblehome and "non-trip chines."Īlthough the plywood has not yet been trimmed along the gunwales, Three rachet straps were needed to pull the aft side planking into shape at the transom.Īll of the screw heads were filled with epoxy fairing compound. With 1/8" strips of wood to make sure everything fit correctly. Paul checked the fairing of the bilge battens with a strip of 1/4" plywood as a batten.Ī cardboard pattern was used to fit the forward bottom plywood.ģ/8" Philippine mahogany marine plywood was used on the bottom.ġ/4" Mahogany plywood was used on the chines after packing the frames, transom and chines Paul's neighbor takes a look at the completed frame. Paul laminated them from two pieces of stock needing almost 50 clamps! It's tougher to get good lumber now than it was in the 50s and 60s. When the chines were installed the first time, they broke at the #1 frame when left overnight. The #2 frame was also modified from the original plans but the bottom contours were kept as original. You can see were he modified the bottom framing, adding two more bilge battens on each side. He found that the transom knees did not align properly and had to be adjusted. Everything fit after a little adjustment.Īfter all the frames were glued up and a major pieces were cut out, Paul clamped everything together to see how it fit.

He laid out the frames full size using a roll of brown building paper and a lofting table made from two sheets of plywood. Paul cut some trial framing from pine boards to see how everything would fit together. Due to the change in lumber sizes over the years (a 2x is no longer 1-5/8" thick nor is a 4x 3-5/8"), adjustments were necessary in stringer sizes.
Paul drew the plans full size in his basement and started construction. This was what he was looking for plywood on frame construction, not too big, not many frames, not overly complicated, and it was similar to the type of boat his family had owned in his youth. Jackson's Ace plans from a 1956 Handbook are available. He looked at a few old copies of the Boat Builder's Handbook and then found Svenson's web site where William D.
