	Clinker (boat building) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Clinker building is a method of constructing hulls of boats and ships by fixing wooden planks and in the early nineteenth century, iron plates to each other so that the planks overlap along their edges.
		Carvel construction was probably invented earlier than clinker but in other parts of the world.
		In Europe carvel was the method of the south probably having spread though the Mediterranean from the Middle East.

		Category:Survival skills Traditional boat building in South East Maluku, Indonesia Boat building is one of the oldest branches of engineering and is concerned with constructing the hulls of boats and, for sailboats, the masts, spars and rigging.
		dugout - a primitive method of building a boat hull that involves carving and/or burning a log from a tree until the desired hull shape is attained.
		Carvel planks are generally caulked with oakum or cotton that is driven into the seams between the planks and covered with some water proof substance.

	Wooden Boat Construction
		Knowing the origins of a boat -- who designed and built her -- can be valuable, in part because one of the biggest unknowns the buyer of an older boat faces is the quality of the wood that has gone into the boat.
		Boats must be designed and built with an extra factor of strength in order to cope with the inevitable deterioration that takes place over time.
		Boats can be built out of almost anything, but not all boat building materials are equally suited to the task.

	W.P. Stephens - Boat Building
		One of two methods is usually followed in boat building, either the lapstreak or clincher, as described for canoes, or the carvel or smooth build; the latter being used only where planking is thick enough to caulk, and making a heavier boat than the former.
		As a boat is usually fuller at the bows than a canoe, the thickness of the stem alone will not give sufficient fastening for the upper planks, so a piece b, called an apron, is added inside the stem; wide enough to fill the space, which the stem alone would not do.
		If the boat has been properly laid down on the mould floor, the floor timbers are taken from the lines on the floor, each being sawed to the proper shape and fastened to the keel by a nail or bolt of round iron (not a screw bolt with nut).

	Boat Building UAE UAEone
		Boats are all carvel-built with planks laid edge to edge: hundreds, sometimes thousands of holes are hand-drilled to avoid splitting the wood and long thin nails, wrapped in oiled fibre, are driven through to secure the planks to the frames.
		The tools used in building boats, from the smallest to the largest, are very simple, hammer, saw, adze, bow-drill, chisel, plane and caulking iron are, amazingly, all that is required to produce such a sophisticated and graceful end-product.
		Three distinctive features epitomized the dhows of this early period: coconut fibre, rather than nails was used to sew the planks of the hull together; the hull shape was double-ended as opposed to square-sterned; and the sails had a fore and aft rather than square-rigged arrangement.

	Glossary of Boat building Terms
		CARVEL - The planks are laid close together on their edges, attached to the ribs to form a smooth exterior.
		A boat with a "lot of sheer" is higher at the bow and stern than the center when viewed in profile; with little sheer, the sheer arc will be closer to a straight line (a hog sheer).
		When building a boat, there may or may not be frames or bulkheads at all or any of the stations.

	Construction Methods in Wooden Boat Building
		The resulting boats are often up to half the weight of their earlier counterparts and are also much stiffer.
		The planking is also glued to the spine and framework, which on new boats is built of laminated hardwood, glued and coated with epoxy.
		Many boats were designed for this relatively easy form of construction which became popular with professionals and DIY builders.

		In glued-lapstrake boats high grade mahogany marine plywood planks are glued together with epoxy to form a permanently watertight, light, strong, resilient, easy-to-maintain and beautiful boat.
		Whether you're building a 20-foot, 6-passenger canoe, or a 20-inch, 6-petunia flower box, in all applications the woodstip and epoxy technique is a straight-forward matter of erecting simple frames and enclosing the space around them with narrow strips of wood.

		Boat building began with timber and over the years many different ways of utilising this most versatile of materials have been developed.
		It is well worth the time and effort to look carefully into the type of material and method employed to build your boat, as it could well mean the difference between enjoying time spent with your pride and joy or getting your feet – and everything else a bit wet.

		There are basically two main methods of building boats with aluminum, the pull up method and the jigged or frame and skin method.
		Also of note is that modern wood boat building has muddied a little, it is some times hard to distinguish what is a wooden boat and what is a fibreglass boat.

	Native Irish boat building
		The native boats of Ireland are not standard or industrially produced vessels but are a traditional and cultural part of Ireland, which have stood the test of time.
		For example boats found on sheltered Loughs and rivers can have a very different form to those used on the open sea, such an example would be a barge which would prove no match for the ‘swell of the sea’.
		The earliest date for data on Irish sea fishing boats is 1836, as suggested by McCaughan (1975, 168) McCaughan (1989, 35) has identified that during the middle of the nineteenth century the predominant type of open worked boat on the north and east coasts of Ireland was the double-ended clinker-built Norway yawl.

	Planking framing caulking
		Carvel planking means the kind you see on older vessels, longitudinal planks nailed or screwed onto steam bent or sawn frames.
		The advantage of a 'normally' or carvel planked boat is that any plank may be removed and replaced without ripping the boat apart.
		Prepare the boat by clearing a path for the new sister ribs by removing blocks and nails etc. Cut notches for the new frames through the engine stringers and notch sockets into the keel.

	Classic boat building
		Our Classic Boat Building program will begin with the construction of an example of a 19th century Connecticut River shadboat, the Brenda M. This boat, measuring 19' 6" by 7', will be carvel planked in cedar over steam bent oak frames.
		Traditionally, the Connecticut River shadboats (aka dragnet boats) were designed by their builders, who would carve a half-model of the boat (to scale) and develop their lofting from the shape they had developed.
		This boat, to be named the Brenda M, will be built as the inaugural project of the Classic Boat Building program at Seth Persson Boat Builders.

		We will build both rudimentary and difficult boats in these classes—round-bilged, carvel and lapstrake planked types— if you can build one of these, you can understand and build almost any boat.
		The most important project taking place will be the building of students' confidence in themselves as boatbuilders and managers of their own lives.
