Thanks Elliot. Here are pics taken on Jul 25, 2017. More ribs.
I just made the template smaller for each rib section.

It is not too noticeable in the pics but the rib spacing is not constant.
The central 6 ribs are all the same so they have no taper. They are centered on the station line.
The others taper toward the ends of the ship so they are offset so that they have the edge closest to the ship center on the station line.
The idea is to sand the balsa outward toward the next rib so that the inner edges are preserved.
cheers Jim
