Fitting lapstrake (clinker) planks can be one of the trickiest parts of traditional boatbuilding-but when done right, it results in a beautiful, strong hull. In this episode of Building Gannet, I walk you through essential tips and techniques to get your lapstrake planks to lay down in their natural position using glued epoxy construction. From clamping strategies using buttons, cam clamps, and clinker pins, to diagnosing fit issues like flaring and gaps, you'll learn how to adjust your gains, bevels, and patterns for a tight, fair fit. I also share how to handle back beveling at the bow, deal with flare, and use thickened epoxy for a forgiving but strong bond. Whether you're a beginner or an experienced wooden boatbuilder, this series provides in-depth guidance with practical shop tips for fitting and hanging planks with confidence. ?

Welcome back to Nomad Boatbuilding! In this episode of Building Gannet, we dive into the art of spiling-a crucial (and often misunderstood) technique in wooden boat building. Whether you're a beginner or looking to refine your skills, this step-by-step walkthrough will show you how to pattern for planks when building a glued lapstrake plywood sailing dinghy. You'll learn: What spiling really means in traditional boatbuilding Why typical spiling methods don't work well for lapstrake planking How to accurately record plank shapes and attitudes Pro tips for fair lines, fitting techniques, and avoiding distortion Tools and tricks (like hot glue and battens) that make life easier This hands-on demonstration uses Gannet, our current dinghy project, to teach practical techniques for patterning, fitting, and cutting planks-without relying on elusive plank patterns in boat plans. ?
