Going a little off from the directions and instead of doing one side of the deck at a time I first glued both halves together and lightly sanded the seams then I glued the whole decking to the frames and spine a little tricky but got it done. I did put a dowel in the mast hole while installing decking!,

Great start on a fun build, Joe!  One recommendation might be to paint/stain some of these areas early on, as they will get hidden as you continue to progress through your build and may be hard to reach after a while.  Looking forward to see your progress on this one!

 I recently bought the holding clamp from harbor freight and works great for me intended purposes! 
I then drew out the waterline with the included device.

 I then installed the block and bar into the deck. Working on mast boom and gaff now.
