Default lapstrake rabbet

There is a nice explanation of lapstrake gains at the ends in Howard
Chapelle's book BOATBUILDING. It is a classic for all small boat builders.
IMHO, it is best made with a rabbit plane and it is a lot easier than it
looks.

I used a power plane to do that. Divide the total length in four equal

parts
and mark them. Set the plane to 1/5 of the maximum depth you want to

make
this gain (1/2 plank thickness). Plane from the first quarter marker

to the
end of the plank. Then another sweep from the second marker to the

end. A
third sweep from the third marker to the end and two final sweeps over

the
full length. Done.
