Andy,
As Paul said previously have a look at his signature for photos.
Hollow heel refers to the shape, this is the curvature the hull makes as it is planked back to the deadwood/ keel.
Being planked all the way leaves it hollow and not full wood as in a built up keel as in a normal carvel or sharpie.
Hope this explains it.I think there is a picture of my built up keel in my signature
Cheers
Benn
