Thanks for your detailed build log Glenn. Your descriptions of the problems and possible solutions will be very handy when I reach that stage in my build. Cheers.

You're welcome

Tricky area that stern arrangement, I haven't got around to looking at it yet.

It is a good idea to use a card template to work out the angles for the side panels to the Pantry and the quaintly named 'Necessary' structures. Don't want to mess the actual pieces up.

I will be adding a margin strip where the deck planking at the stern meets the lower counter.  The  existing set-up would allow water to run down the counter and work its way between deck and the frames below.

Thanks Maurice. The template side pieces were fashioned from spare 0.8mm thick plywood. If, when fettling the side panels, I am not happy then I will just use 4mm planks. I am also thinking of planking the roof section.

 

Much to ponder. I wish I had your skill and patience to plank the upper deck.
