Here is the new structure, new stern post on left, rudder post on right. The diagonal is called the forward horn timber. The planking will be attached to it. The structure above the horn timber will be inside the hull.  At the left, lined up with the horn timber, you can see the passage that the rudder shaft will pass through.   photo credit - Harold Burnham
