26ft Galway Hooker/Pucan to build

[nickbranson]

How to build:-

Make it simple! What a good maxim! Simple unpretentious design originally built by eye in an open field in the olden days. OK, but surely easier today using a computer for the design instead of carving a half model from solid wood using a penknife?

So accurate templates can be printed on Mylar already faired! No lofting, just lay the film sheet on the wood and prick thru to mark up the shape and cut it out.

Tradtional carvel construction. All the wooden components are patterned with the exception being the planking.

Branson Boat Design usually designs steelkits but has a few traditional wood designs too.
