Come meet Lou and lend a hand with his TotalBoat Sport Dory build, this Saturday 8-3PM at Jamestown Distributors in Bristol, RI! There will be food, drinks and plenty of fun for the whole family!

Now that our bottom is complete it's time for planking! The next pieces are the port and starboard broadstrakes. These planks will be bedded and screwed together through to the plastic frames. Because of the thickness of the planks you would have to do something to make them sit down flush especially up the bow where the shape of the Dory has a strong twist. So instead of steaming the planks we're going to actually cut the plank right down the middle and then glue it back together with epoxy when its BACK ON the boat. This allows the plank to flex far more easily and lay down just right through that twist near the bow. The next step will be to let the epoxy dry and then take the plank off before adding some bedding compound and then screwing the plank through the garboard and into the plastic frames.

We're taking a week to re-organize the shop for the spring push so there will not be a video next week but lots more coming soon and some big announcements in the summer!
