The best laid schemes o' mice an' men...
Well, we had quite the plans for the planking party and though we did get some accomplished, in the end they did go 'awry'.
Our plan was to continue planking as we were and hoped that we could have a team scarfing planks while two others were working in the boathouse hanging them. In theory, we felt one could keep up with the others. However, right before we started, we were encouraged to put in stealers to make up a bit of distance to the sheer in the aft end, and this meant that we needed to put in a 'funky' plank above them to match.
It turned out, this plank was much more work than we anticipated. This paired with some uncooperative cedar planks, which kept breaking on us, meant that much of the 'hanging planks' part of the party came to a crawl.
This compounded with the threat of COVID19, meant that we ultimately decided to shut down the operation and send the team home to be safe. It wasn't all a bust though. These planks that we did figure out, ended up looking great and make the planking from here on out look a bit smoother and will mean a lot less edge setting.

Acorn to Arabella is a boat building project taking place in Granby, Massachusetts. Steve and Alix started as amateur boat builders building their own 38' wooden boat in their backyard: designer William Atkin's Ingrid with a Stormy Petrel's gaff rig. These videos follow the journey from tree felling, to lumber milling, to lofting, to the lead keel pour and beyond-sharing details of the woodworking, carpentry, metal smithing, tool building, and tool maintenance that wooden boats command. This ultimate DIY project will continue well past launch, when they will travel and learn to cruise aboard the boat that they've built. Just kidding about all that, this channel is about a Siberian Laika named Akiva.
