EP111. DECK PLANKING – lining out

It’s time to line out TALLY HO’s deck planking – deciding the positions and sizes of all the deck strakes, the cover boards, the king planks, and so on. To figure this out we take a look at a wide variety of different wooden boat decks in the yard, consider the different parts, and then draw the layout on the deck planks using battens. I also take a quick weekend break sailing the beautiful schooner MARTHA around the San Juan islands, and we take a look down below and meet her captain. Back in the yard, in the midst of a storm, we receive a large delivery – the Alaskan Yellow Cedar for TALLY HO’s deck!
