Inexplicably I made all six of the first deck gunports too wide. In trying to reconstruct how that happened it seems that the initial measurement was wrong as every port is too wide by an identical amount. It is also true that the monograph specifies one width, and the drawings show a different width. Unfortunately, I must not have caught that difference during the research stage.

In any case my solution was to insert a thin fillet - the planking will make this repair largely disappear.

Looks really good Paul - perfect alignment. Have you decided how much you're going to plank yet ?
