Planking - Side panel on transom
I've temporarily attached the side panel to the transom. I've noticed that as I stitch and move the panels, the transom has flexed a minor amount. Is this permissible? Any concerns or recommendations? Thanks!

Marshall, post some good photos of what you are describing. This will assist the members in providing guidance!!! Jeff

Not a lot to show. The bottom of the transom (top of pic), must flex a bit to acquire good alignment with the side plank.

Re: Marshall's FS17
Do you mean the transom or the bottom panel? Neither should be anything but dead straight back there. If you are talking a mm no big deal.

Re: Marshall's FS17
If you don't pull it tight; you can keep it flat and no fairing...9

Panels to transom
The bow and the side panels are stitched/hung and all look pretty darn good. The forward part of the boat looks like it should along with the shape. The alignment of the panels on the transom are all a bit skewed. The picture shows the side panels aligning well to the transom but there is some over-hang of the bottom panels on the transom (top of pic). Do I accept this and trim some material? It seems a bit too much for fillet or fairing. Also, the transom angle seems to be good.

Re: Marshall's FS17
You will need to round off those edges anyway later on. 1/2" radius, or you will have a lot of air bubbles. Remember the wood is mostly a core. Remove it where you need to.
