What I was suppose to do when fairing the chine from the second frame forward was too find a spot on the chine where the wood began to start to twist toward the stem, and then draw a line down the middle of the chine. On the lower side on the line would be where the side planking would lay and on the top of the line would be where the bottom planking laid. This meant I had to re-fair the chine and sheer; though most of the wood on the sheer had already been taken off so it was a quicker process than before. Overall this makes a lot more sense to me and makes me want to kick myself for not seeing what is the most obvious way to fasten the planking. I guess it all goes with your first build! The picture below shows the chine and the line drawn towards the center to which either side will be faired.
