Thanks PC. I'd actually thought about that - cutting from a solid piece.
Unfortunately I really don't have the necessary tools around to do it right
now e.g. a router (probably a lot easier on a router table actually)., but
I'll certainly give that some more thought. Also, I had somone else respond
(see the new thread 'Jim's Hatteras'), requesting better pics and I[m goiing
to try to do that tomorrow or Sunday. Maybe you can see it a little better
then, and see the new windows - maybe generate other ideas ?

I'm not sure how to deal with this. Any ideas ? Any source for a

You have to cut the corner pieces to fit. First get a chunk of wood
long enough for corner. Should be flat grain. Cut the outer edge to
fit. At this stage you can do several attempts to try and fit. You
might try to get a tracing of corner by tape a piece of paper to
corner region and rubbing with a pencil. In your case you would add
the "leg" of the L. Cut that rabbet with router or shaper. When the
fit is perfect on the outer edge, cut the inner edge. Obviously the
piece is now very fragile; thus the requirement for flat grain.
Radius the corner as required.

These instructions are minimal, I know, but they should be sufficient
to suggest the method.

Nice boat, by the way.
