Hi all.
Im very sorry that i started another thread on the same subject, i didn't get any advice, so i did this, again my apologies.

I would like to know if i have to fair the ribs all the way to the decks at the stern of the ship(last 3 ribs, 27,28,30)?

Also my problem is that the decks protrude 1mm past the ribs on all of them on both sides, bar rib 15, and the last 3 ribs at the stern (both sides)
The decks all meet in the middle. Its a bit of a tight fit ,very snug in between the ribs. I havent even glued anything, all is dry fitted.

So... should i sand the decks until they meet the ribs, the easier option, or do i build up the ribs with 1-2mm strips to meet the decks?(warning signs of a symmetrical nature are sounding now)

Also with the last 3 ribs on both sides should i sand these down to the decks?
Thinking of symmetry. I fear its all gone to **** on that one due to rib 15.
Sorry if its already been mentioned and i missed it.
Thanks

Thanks alot Paul
I must have missed that discussion.
Thanks for rapid response as well
I feel loads better.

Pleased this question was answered I was just about to ask the same thing - My next 4 issues should arrive at the weekend so I am planning the prep work ready for the planking.

Its worth considering adding a veneer, although after you have sanded the hull planking down it does come up really nice and smooth
