Hi, You need to use a soldering iron and water to shape the planks to fit. If you look closely at the bow the planks are going straight between the bulkheads therefore not to plan. You should not have to force the planks to shape as when done properly they will just sit on the bulkheads with minimal pressure. Imho you are getting into a bad habit and need to address this quickly my friend. I will send you a video on insta maybe later today

Thanks my friend, I do have a soldering iron and did a plank bender, I thought in this project there is no need of this, as pressure was not big and all the planks line up very good. Aldo I will use this technique to do the wales.

Where is the tapering?

[@homeharbour6238]

What do you mean? The planking is made by the instructions. It's the first planking with extra plywood at the bow and stern.
