Hi people before i start with my delema i would just like to say how great this forum is as every problem i have come up against as a first time builder has be solved by you all some where on here and the tips i have found have been very helpful to me.
The bit i am not quite sure on is the position of the bow end of plank 12 should this plank join to the bulkhead as i have a gap between them and i dont want to go any further without making sure this is right i have added some pics they are not great but show what is bothering me thanks.

Layer 12 is a continuous length which should continue beyond the forward bulkhead and not cut/stopped at the bulkhead, and at the bow the plank is tapered by 2mm.

There should be no gap and the planking should seat against the side of the bulkhead, a gap is suggestive of not enough fairing of the frames in this area; all you'll have to pack the gap out with card or a thin strip of wood.
