I've decided that I'm not going to do all the butt straps first and then plank. I'm going to install butt straps as needed as I work my way from the bow to the transom with the planking. That said I could have put the bow planks on except they still needed one more coat of epoxy, which I completed today. I also cut and installed the butt straps for the garboards aft of bulkhead 3. A couple of notes, I did check with Bernd on installing the butt straps right next to a bulkhead, he said that was fine. He also mentioned that he likes to stagger butt straps so they do not all occur at the same station. With all that said, here are a couple of pictures.
The picture below shows how the but strap lines up to the bulkhead/chine/keel edges.
So that is it for any progress on this boat until Monday, Taking the kids on a weekend road trip. If I can get my mind my off my life inside the boat shed I should have a good time.
