I am planking around the bilge and installing the second goring plank. It doesnt want to lay flat against the ribs and my concern is that I am creating excessive "edge setting" as warned against by Stelmock. The solution would seem to be to let the plank run wild up the hull and then cut and butt it on the middle rib creating an oblique angle with its partner running the opposite direction. Alternatively the plank could be run out to a feather edge to help reduce but not eliminate the tension created by its position.
