Planking continues

Posted Wednesday, September 20, 2017 by Kurt Spiridakis

Key image for: Planking continues

Five planks are fastened to Mary E's port side.  Also visible is the bottom transom plank, fastened in place with galvanized wood screws.  Where the hull planking meets the transom planking is a tricky miter joint, compounded by the necessary caulking bevel, which is barely visible.
