Many thanks. I’ve yet to decide what to do with it. May just clean up the hull, varnish it and put it on the mantle piece. At the moment it is in the shed along side a multitude of other projects’. We’ve got all winter!!! thanks again rob -

I planked a 36r once and it was described as ‘plank on frame’ most of the frames were later removed to leave a smooth(ish!) hull afterwards some folks refer to frames as formers or sections. Sometimes the planks are thinner or the hull wants to be stronger so “double diagonal“ planks might be laid (Dad did a boat this way using balsa planks for a different 36r) I’m sure there are many different options that more skilled folks than me can describe. as for the weight, yes these older hulls were a challenge to get to weight, sometimes the heavy hulls were male plugs for female molds that then create glass fiber hulls can made from. as to your boat, I suggest that folks won’t be too worried if she’s a little over weight as I doubt you’ll be measuring her for racing. But if so then taking lead off the top of the keel would be easiest (but least desirable!) way to get under the limit. Taking weight out of the mast/deck/hull would be more desirable but harder/more expensive. good luck. -
Many thanks Rob for your advice/info. it will fit in that ‘box’ but at 10lbs12 ounces is there enough weight allowance for all the above deck/ sailing paraphernalia to go under 12lbs. Do you know the strip planking construction method has a ‘name’? Many thanks Rob.
