  1. Planking of the quarter deck.

    There seem to have been different methods during this period. Fully planked or with a grating of beams in the middle.
    The grating appears to have come into use later. Mostly on ships that sailed to the tropical seas. 
    Possible to cool the area under this deck. Or to give the helmsman a better view of the sails. Who knows?

    This model gets the full planking. With 3 openings :
    For the block of the main sail.
    For the ladder between main and quarter deck.
    For the removable cover for the helmsman.

    Planking of this deck is done in the same way as the main deck.

    Planking on the stern area is also "weird". 4 planks are not in the length but in the width.
    Reason: If you look at the opposite side, here are the same planks also placed in the width.
    Correct or not ?? I don't know, but it is logically acceptable.

    These 4 planks are in the width at the bottomIMG_20190806_190844.thumb.jpg.cc34cc2b7d02578c3e321de9f02bba31.jpg
