camber at bow
The plans draw the bow/stern of the side panels as curved, but give no camber measurement.  Jacques insists that if there's no number there, there's no curve to the line.  I cut an 11mm camber anyway, because I like the look of the recurved bow, and because it would be easier to re-cut it straight if it didn't look good at this stage, than to add 11mm of wood if a straight cut didn't look good.  I think I like it with the camber there.
