I have recently acquired a clinker built Kestrel 22 which I propose to renovate. General wood and metal work I can confidently carry out. However, the 'clinker built' bit worries me. How do you make sure that when put thge boat into the water the boat is not going to just sink? I have heard tell of letting the boat take water up to expand the planking. It begs the question - if the boat is properly paited how is this going to take place? Is there a good book that covers the subject fully in a pragmatic fashion? Most books I haved read so far give the impression that the writer has only read someone else's book on the subject and not actually done the work themselves.
