( 1 ) I have changed direction of planking.
I decided to use the method of finding the equidistant point between Keel and sheer on each gabarit... then running the ' master ' plank along these points .. ignoring 1-2-3-11-12-13 gabarits and letting the plank find its natural curve. ( a la ..Gougeon Brothers. WEST )

( 2 ) I did not cut a bevel on the planks .. less machining of Cedar ( health reasons )

( 3 ) Gluing the planks as I work.

The planking is ' laying ' onto gabarits very nicely.
The gabarits are very ' Fair ' ( you have done a very nice job fairing lines on the computer.)
