Doc... my point was... I don't understand why the kit has wale #14 setting 1mm lower (in a groove) than wales #16 and #20 (not in a groove)??

I agree with your diagnosis: the one wale was set into a groove to establish the vertical for everything that follows. This would be essential given the pre-spiled planking that comes with Pavel's kits (including this one?)...
I was planning on leveling wale #14 as not sure my groove is uniform. Guess now I'll level all 3 wales to the same height. Will make a little jig with sandpaper at the bottom (set in a groove) to make all the same.
Starting on planking the transom now.
Looking at a photo from Pavel's link, the planking edges are beveled... How do I bevel the transom and hull planks uniformly?
Wait... I just remembered I had done this before with a tiny 'round-over' bit. The problem is I did this with a CNC machine that I not longer have. I believe the tiny round-over bits only come a 1/4" shank and I can't use this with a dremel. Hmmm...
