    I have 2 boat plans coming in (soon i hope) one boat stitch and glue the other strip planking.
    I will create separate threads and link them here with what i hope a very detailed step by step noob building experience and hopefully it will help others in the future :)
    The S&G boat is OD16 from Bateau.
    The Strip planking is Lobster 15 from selway fisher.

    The boat i will start with will depend on which plan comes in first ...
