Hi Jim and Ray - Thanks for the encouragement
So feeling a bit more confident I marked out both port and starboard sides this time.
I also found it easier to cut these pieces to very near to their finished size. This gave me less material to remove and a smaller contact area on the ship. Here's a comparison of my first and second try pieces
Anyway after hours of fettling I'm glad to say that both sides are on
They are a bit rough at the moment as I need the next plank down to be fitted to get their final shape. Funnily enough they don't look like much either
So next is to complete this strake on both sides and get some nails and tree nails into the planks.
Cheers Mark
