Louis Sauzedde is building the Alden Schooner, Evelyn, with his friend Ken Boyle in Ken's Bristol Shipwrights shop. Lou explains how to ensure a strong connection of scarf joints that will last the lifetime of this wooden boat. Using both thickened and un-thickened TotalBoat High Performance Epoxy Resin, Lou joins the two pieces of Philippine mahogany that are this first layer of planking on the boat. Lou will epoxy between this layer of 5/8” strip planks and then cover them using 7/8” carvel planks on the top. Stay tuned here as we follow along and grab all the Sticky Tips to share with you as Lou builds Evelyn.
