All of the hull side panels are flat. There is no curve except the hull bottom of the bow section. The bulkhead at a panel join is the type of issue that has to be adapted/resolved. Making long panels is in the HB16 plans. Where the frames are on the HB16 will be a clue to where to place bulkheads.

I'm going through my HB16 plans and instructions to get a feel for how they were adapted from old plans. Then I'm going through the article, taking notes to see if I can make them follow the sequence of build for the HB16. I'm trying to extract and expand each sentence to make it a numbered step sequence.

There is a pdf file on the boatbuildercentral main site. I read that. Almost all of the parameters of the Platform Boat fall into the category of being easily adaptable based on that document.
