Rodgearing:
Bluebird the discrepancies between my plan for the Cervia and your sizes I couldn't be arsed to spend days figuring out a solution as I was wanting to cut plywood.
Plus I have had the plans for the ANTEO for ages I thoght I'd give that a go
But thanks for all the tips matey.

First can I thank Bluebird for his Master class on the Cervia and yes mate I have read your section on planking it makes me feel a tad easier on doing it. 
So again matey thanks.
Bluebird said there were several ways to plank and thats where I am now coming from.  I see some 'plankers' start at the gunwhale and move down is there any advantage to this?
The reason I ask is that I started planking the ANTEO yesterday and 'oh my gawd'  what a gerfuffle especially around back end (sorry stern) I started from the keel up.
I just couldn't get plank one and plank two to be flush.  I think I know now what to do but advice would be good.
I think the method I was using which was to try and plank using one plank to do the whole length instead of doing it in 'fit size' chunks if that makes sense   
So it was to remove what I had done and start again.  But thats how we learn I guess.
So again any tips advice stories on how you did it would be most welcome.
Thanks again all and sonar for the plans.
Fred
