Planking on the starboard side

I've started to plank on the starboard side now. My weekend pattern is to remove a plank and cut the replacement on Saturday, steam and nail on the new one Sunday.

Port planking almost finished

Except for a few small trim planks along the edges, and the centerline planks, the left side planking is on. Laura did all the nailing on the last plank we put on (the long tapered curved one one the right).

Steaming a too-long plank

This plank was about 6 inches longer than my steam box, so I improvised a door out of foam board. Laura was enlisted to help nail on the plank and this time she did some of the hammering.  She claims the ones she put in are ones without hammer marks around them.

Here's the plank all nailed on. It's the darker of the two long replacement planks.
