More design changes.
First, I was concerned because there was no surface under the counter for the end of the hull planks to sit on. So, new shapes were added there. The new pieces are highlighted in blue in the picture.

I caught an error in my design. The bow former pieces end at a level that is too high. I corrected them and now they end flush with the forecastle deck level. I hope there are no other errors that I have overlooked.
Oh, right. I’m modeling the Sultana replica, which has a diesel engine. So I need a cutout in the rudder.
After looking at some reference pictures, I tried creating the cutout, which is roughly elliptical. It didn’t look quite right.
Working on the cap rail at the bow. First, a fit point spline to match the correct curve.
Reference marks were added to the scribe lines for each bulkheads (in the same sketches where the fairing lines are drawn). These reference marks indicate the location of the wales and the bottom of the bulwarks on each bulkhead.
