Transom proceeding, looking into the sides

So I have done 4  planks on the transon now, and its going pretty well.

Started looking into how to do the sides.  The process is very similar to the transom.  The sideseare going to have 5 strakes, whereas the transom is getting as many 100mm strips as is required.

Because of the 5 strips, the bottom of each plank needs to be shaped as well.  I've figured out a method and I tested it today using some of that crappy marine ply that I had left over.

It all worked out pretty well.  I have come up with some process improvements and so will test those next weekend on ply as well before getting stuck into the "good wood".
