Thanks, Grant. For the most it’s ‘time’, ‘measuring’, ‘tools’ and ‘minor adjustment’ each time. Those inseparably linked to the each other. Most definitely the 4th with the 1st.

A small update to record the progress of the 'off-deck decking'. The sheet can still be removed.
And put back where all deck openings ensure that it's no longer shifts:
At the front, the 1st nibble plank is also glued. With the transition to the 2nd part. There are now 5 complete strokes up to the back.
After the 3 frames around the deck openings, there are now 4 towards the aft deck:
In the curve at the back, the first 7 planks are sawn off in the curve. Then they are also nibbled.
I am now going to lay complete strokes on the back, after which the connections with the middle follow. And I can fill the middle piece up to the side.

Wonderful, meticulous work, Peter!
Thanks, Paul. A few planks a day, makes a deck sheet in a …….. month (or two) …..
