What would we do without our spouses! Great that you could so swiftly correct the trouble.

 

But it is good to know that the kit manufacturer was not that badly out with one bulkhead. That would have shaken my confidence in all kits.

They do have their uses in the shipyard after all  I hope she doesn't read that, I will be in trouble if she does......... Joking aside, it is always good to get a fresh set of eyes on something like that. I am just glad she dropped in when she did. Good woman

This is why I recommend pausing and measuring everything before starting the planking - or installing the deck. After the planks are on it is too late to correct mistakes.

 

Point taken and lesson learned, Phil. I dry fitted those top strakes to get a feel for the symmetry throughout the day today and I have been finely sanding bulkheads here and there to get it right. Before any glue goes on I will be double and triple checking that everything is sitting correctly.
