You are correct that battens are usually inside pockets. It's a kit simplification. Nice job, Scott. She looks fine.

I think he's referring to the notch for the tiller.

Coming to this late, as I'm catching up on build logs before starting my pram. One point that I won't remember to note in my own build log, so I'll put it here for whatever help it may be to others: 

 

I don't think that's a notch for the tiller. I think it's intended for sculling the boat (with one oar) or maybe steering with an oar when sailing in shallow water. If it was for the tiller, it would either have to be in line with the axis of pintles and gudgeons or else much wider, to leave space for the swing of the tiller, side to side.

 

That's a small point but I've seen one or two build logs where the rudder was mounted low, so that the tiller fitted in the notch. The rudder needs to be high enough for the tiller to sweep, side-to-side above the transom.
