Ken Bassett's Firefly

[cm2ncfsu2]

I'm looking to start on this design this summer once school lets out. Before buying the plans, does anyone know how the planks are detailed in the plans? I'm not up on my spiling and was wondering if getting the plank shapes out is something within my meager abilities. Its a beautiful design. Thanks for any and all information, nothing in the archives mentions it.

Sincerely,
Jason Atkinson

The Firefly plans do not describe the shapes of the four side and bottom panels.
I'd just scarph up an 18' panel, drape it over the molds, mark the mold positions on it, fill in the lines with a spline, cut two parts a bit oversize and trim after they're hung on the boat.

Get Rossel's book Building small craft. It will get you dialed into that planking.

There is also the mylar approach.
