Above the Chine the boat is planked length wise, horizontally. Below the Chine the boat is planked "Maryland style" with the planks running vertically from Chine to Rabbet. To support the span from Chine to Rabbet, Stringers are installed by notching the frames and nailing/glueing support pieces- Stringers, to which the vertical planking will be attached.
The Stringers are comprised of two layers of 1X4 SYP glued and screwed to the notched frames. The first pic shows the first layer in place and the second pic shows the full 2 layers of SYP comprising the stringer. Where the bottom of the hull is at its fullest there are 4 rows of stringers between Chine and Rabbet.
