LOVES Wooden Canoes
Howdy,
I'm past the de-canvassing stage, and now I'm looking at a couple of small holes in my planking where there aren't necessarily broken ribs on the other side.
Is is possible/advisable to replace portions of a plank rather than the entire thing? One of my holes is no larger than a dime, and I believe it's the garboard (closest to the keel).
If this is possible, what's the shortest length of planking you'd want to go with - spanning 2 ribs? 3?
I apologize if this is in the Wood and Canvas Canoe book - perhaps I missed that paragraph.
