Thank's Günther.

No, this is a single layer planking, just adding the rubbing strakes at the moment

Hey Krister_L, Great progress!! I had some trouble figuring out exactly where on the hull the rubbing strakes should go. So I worked from top to bottom, including the gun placement! Now I just need to place the two bottom rubbing strakes! I hope it works out as well for me as it did for you!! Beautifully done! I'm already looking forward to following your next steps. Best regards!

With the benefit of hindsight, I should have started from top as well, but so far I made a lot of mistakes with the rubbing strakes. Good luck it's wood, it's at least repairable. I got my gunports a little bit too high so I had to lower them, a tricky part, but it will be hidden by the frames around the ports. Anyhow, I let it take time, trying not to rush too much and I'm soon to be an expert on this (an expert is just a guy who made a lot of mistakes) :D
