Orque, carvel planked TopHat.
Posted: Sun Jul 24, 2011 7:27 pmDear all,
A while ago I had written about a carvel planked TopHat taken from the first design to come from Primrose's drawing board. Well, I have been off earning to pay for the one year course in wooden boat building which I start in September. I will be using Orque as a project whilst at the college and will be running a sort of blog throughout the whole process.
There is a lot to be done, new decks, new transom, a few new planks, new aft bulkhead, the list goes on. This can all be followed from my site at www.foreshoreboats.com
I have spent a lot of time researching the various details of Angus Primrose, John Illingworth and how the TopHat came to be, which some readers may find interesting. I hope you enjoy.
Bill.
