Mid Ship
With the deck on I then identified where the super-structure would sit and then marked where the cut-outs would be. Once this was done I then glued in skirting using plywood. These would prevent water ingress and provide a solid surface for fixing the super-structures in place.

Here you can see those cut-outs from another angle and the funnel.

Here we are zoomed out, you can see the foremast under construction.
