First made some double knees before I could continue with the planking.
This is also gradually moving towards production work:

Glued a strip of 5x2 pear wood to the clamp of my cross plate with double sided tape.
With a 1 mm bit:
1: a horizontal partition for the upper knee every 3 mm at 1 mm depth;
2: a strip off to shorten the top toe;
3: shortening the toe to the shoulder of the upper knee;
4: cut loose;
5: filed the bridge;
6: round both shoulders.
Made the wide plank under the right-hand upright of the windlass on the foredeck:

Decided to close the point with planks. Shortened the nibbling strip on the side as well as the intermediate planks.
The double knees are so beautifully visible.
Next step are some pieces of plank around the mast and the recesses for the attributes on the deck.

Looking great Peter! Remember the windlass assembly will be between those bits. I like the cutaway look, however there will be no deck below the windlass behind that cutaway. The only reason I mention that is because the legs have angle supports that go to the deck. You could add a small piece of deck in those areas.
A picture for reference…
