Mmmm, think six wide bow bits used to make 'cutters', and then think ten
wide. There's also a top/bottom plate with the same profile (a la six wide)
and there is also a top plate complete with gunwales.
In the River Expedition, you get two hull pieces, a standard plate, and a
tricky top plate - just enough to make a flat paddle steamer hull - one hull
piece fore and aft, standard plate at the stern, top plate at the bow. It
means you don't get plates underneath, but I have never liked that look
anyway.

Still baldly going...
Check out Port Block at http://www.hinet.net.au/~rparsons/port/
Note the change in URL - Port Block is moving (to new and larger
accommodations)
Do adjust your set.
