Re: 351 V8 Clinker in Melbourne/Lancefield

Is the stem pulled up at the front? Is it bent in the middle looks like some thing has gone wrong in construction or is it just a bad picture?

Re: Speed Boat - Lewis Clinker

She has got good lines to her,looks abit like old age but the top plank(whisky plank)seems to finish before the stem,where mine runs from stem to stern,but has a similier sweep towards the Transome,I rekon that reflective yellow paint is hiding more than it is showing

Re: clinker in tarneit

Yes, i do not know greg and Dave maybe its because of the ply planks,one thing I did notice though is that the stringers are closer together on the floor of the Hull which means twice the roving, Ouch

Re: clinker in tarneit

It would be a strong hull,if the pictures are not tricking me it has stringers running along all the plank overlaps and the ribs roved to them as as well as the plank this is a carvel hull building style where the stringers or battons are used to join the planks on then the ribs run over the battons
