MODIFIED PLANKING INSTRUCTIONS
Before we start planking, make sure you have about 6 to 8 full length
1/2" X 1/8" planks. Also, take a look at the frame
work for the hull. Sight down the Keel making sure
the frame work is straight.
Also ensure that you have good glue joints between the Sheers, Frames and
the Keel.

Now grab your softest plank and soak the bow
end (soak the front half on the plank) in
hot water for about 5 to 10 minutes. You want the loosen
the fibers of the balsa enough to allow you to plank around the
radius at the bow. As the plank is soaking, you can study
the planking diagram on the next page.
