Simulation of channels, now and ever :
New channels glued :
Before gluing and equalization, testing enforcements of first front channel :
Other test for channels :
I am not sure, if the shipwrights already used iron reinforcements for the channels - or do you plan to cover them under wood?
The provided plan seems not very clear about the question : ironed or wooden reinforces of channel, both could have been used in 1693
I can also wooden or black paint them
After completed built, they will be quite invible behind deadeyes
