Alternatively. All planks will be tapered the same amount....Lay the garboard, lay the wale...You can now calculate your taper from the widest to the forward bulkhead. Taper the strake and you have a template to mark all the rest! It really is that simple.
What is a good length to width ratio you would recommend for a wooden ship build? The length of my ship will be 34 inches and will be two master. 0.75inch masts.

is it necessary to wait a whole day after placing the planks or would 2 hours do.
An hour or two works as long as they are dry so the glue will hold
thanks and also what wood are you using for this model
Its basswood that came with the kit!
