We made some more progress this weekend planking the port side of the main hull. As usual, not as much progress as I would like, but a journey of a million paces takes a million paces to complete (deep, huh!?). We finished planking up to the bow. I need to trim the keel line (upper right in photo), and eventually replace the top couple inches with high density foam. I had to make more wood clamping plates, and used all of them to get this far. They tend to disintegrate after a dozen uses, or so.
This view shows the complex curves of the lower hull. The floats will eventually tuck into the convex section of the lower hull when folded.
Once the planks are glued together, we hold the foam to the frame with a million drywall screws from the underside, as seen here. It is much easier to work under the main hull than the floats due to the orientation of the hull, but it still makes my neck ache.
