Hazel: I don't know how I would build it so tell me how I would go about building a boat.

Henry: That's where you starts.

Hazel: Laying the keel?

Henry: Lay the keel first. And then get both ends.

Hazel: Do you have to have a drawing done up of what the boat would look like.

Henry: Well when we were building them for the fisherman's zone board I had plans and drawings but I never had any on me own when I was building em.

Hazel: Oh ok. So you lay the keel.

Henry: And then up put both ends up and you make so many frames and put across her and then you what we call ribbing her out putting battens around her in the rest of the places with frames before she was ready for planking.

Hazel: Oh ok. And then after that.

Henry: I'm gonna have to get you to come down there. [laughter]

Hazel: Give me a lesson.

Henry: Then you'll know a little more about it.

Hazel: So after you plank her, what do you do?

Henry: After you get her framed out then you have her ready for planking

Hazel: Oh ok.

Henry: And you put the first rack on up on top, first one up.

Hazel: Oh ok.

Henry: Then you plank her down about half way down, down to the turn, where she turns in around and then you start at the bottom and you put the garboard plank in, the one next to the keel, then you keep going up till you get to the last one and that one was called the fuller. [ Clock rings]

Hazel: Oh ok.
