I wanted a rowing boat in the style that I remember from my childhood in England and eventually decided to build one myself. After a lot of reading and web searching I chose an Iain Oughtred design, the Acorn 15. For a description of the Acorn 15 click here.

Day 12 - Shape Keelson Ready For Planking

The keelson, transom and stem have been faired ready for the garboard plank to be fittted and glued in place. The photo below shows a piece of 3 mm thick MDF 200 mm wide and 4.8 metres long laid against the keelson to make a pattern for this first plank. This template is clamped and tacked in place so the outline of the garboard plank can be marked on it.
