Carvel Planking Techniques

In keeping with our mission to build wooden boats with 'traditional' as well as 'modern' techniques, we undertook with this course to teach the art of 'lining off', spiling, getting out and hanging planks on a typical carvel planked boat, in this case, a Cat's-Paw dinghy. Here instructor and master boat builder Michael Kortchmar (center) instructs Charlie Flagg and Neil Lamens in this ancient art.
