This week’s feature is about planking a lapstrake and is instructed by Reuben Smith of Tumblehome Boatshop in Warrensburg, New York. Lapstrakes are tricky. With a twisted and contorted shape, you can’t just bolt dimensional lumber onto a hull during a repair or new build. So, how do you pick up that shape and transfer it onto two dimensional lumber?
Reuben covers techniques such as spiling, how to create a scarph joint and when epoxy is most appropriate.
