32. A view showing details of the foredeck. 31. T e octagonal winch drum.
T e wales were installed. To make them more prominent, they were doubled in thickness. (Figure 27) T e frames were now marked to show where the gun ports are to be placed, and the upper futtocks were being thinned down to bulkhead size. T ese futtocks and extensions were made narrow and thinner, before the hull was cut free. Planking above
the wales was fi tted. I used nylon line to hold the planks in place while installing the trunnels holding it. (Figure 28)
Once the sides were completed, work began on decking. Individual planks were painted black on the edges and, aſt er sanding, were placed on location, starting from the centerline outward. T is eff ort made it look like there was pitch between planks. Silver maple was used for decking. (Figure 29) Aſt er
