This little yacht is just out of the water and has had its anti fouling pressure washed. Its a good opportunity to have a look at the details.
She has about 14 strakes per side and a bit of hollow near the transom creating some wine glass shape below the waterline. Other clinker yachts, like the folkboat, seem to avoid this. I imagine its quite hard to plank. The strakes are very narrow to create this hollow.
The transom is a chunky bit of timber and seems to drag slightly if the waterline paint is right. Its got a wonderful grain. If I see the boat again, out of the water, I might put a tape measure to the top plank on the transom - you dont often see boards that wide these days!
I cant quite tell where the planking ends and the keel/deadwood begins. My impression is the that the garboard strake is let in to the rabbet in the keel and that there appears to be a caulked seam.
Im guessing that the lowest seam in the photo above is from the keel to the deadwood. But Ill be happy to be corrected.
