For example, we routed out the deck-strips to make planking easier. It made things more difficult. Much better to just follow Toms advice as close as possible. Another thing I would do is to be more careful with planking, for example scrape off all epoxy while planking. Then the time consuming fairing will be quicker. /matti Hi Eric,

What would you change in building another of MacNaughton’s 36′- (30', 25', 22', 15' Coin Series sailboats) if you were to do it all over again? (I’m in the process of building a Farthing 15′ is why I’m interested in what you might say.) Best Regards, Eric Crossen Hello – from Alaska.

I recommend that you check out www.macnaughtongroup.com and send a mail to Tom MacNaughton. He has several designs like this one and his recommendations are always worth listening to. /matti Sorry I didn’t answer earlier, Peter.
