King plank

After sanding the bow compartments I beveled the two bulkheads in the bow so they are aligned for eventually installing the deck.

I also cleaned up the epoxy fillet in the bow.

Then cut the kingplank, which at this point was just a 1 3/4" piece of wood.
I notched  the bulkheads to accept the king plank.

 Then it took a bit of time to get it to fit in the bow.  I marked and rough cut it with a pull saw.  Then it was a lot of checking the fit and rasping wood away.  It's not a light-tight fit, but it fits well for epoxying as you don't want a perfect fit.

You can see that there are some pretty large unsupported areas considering the deck material is only 6mm.  However, the curve of the deck will do much to stiffen it.  The thwarts (seats), which are flat, need closer spacing of support beams.
