Looks good, Jan!

Thanks Paul, just a tiny bit of imagineering.

Lower Transom planking Port side:

I started by being a bit more agressive "fairing" this part of the frame.

The next step was to remove the char, lightly sand and glue the planks together as one piece.

Then a few dry fits to get a good fit.

Followed by a final check for a bit of overlap.

With a "filler" piece added the plank assembly was glued in place.

That's great instruction for those who are considering this as a build.

Yup, I had to think about it, I could not get a good fit with my initial fairing of that frame.

Next step is a minor sanding marathon to finish the edges.
