John Gardner's Car Top Semi Dory Boat
Here is the latest progress picture of a boat I am building. It is John Gardner's car top semi dory and will be built by glued lapstrake planking using 5mm marine plywood. I started this boat in Novemember 2013 where I built all the ribs using douglas fir wood. I was not happy with how those ribs came out as douglas fir is very hard to work with so I started over using baltic birch plywood for the ribs. The bottom board is 9mm marine plywood. I will be posting more pictures as I go because the weather is now warming up. The boat is also taking shape as I recently set up all the ribs and made a backbone structure. I will be planking using a truss template method. I hope to get video of this process because I think it will make glued lapstrake building easier for people.
