Filling Lakefield Dinghy Plank Spaces

I'm restoring an '60's Lakefield sailing/rowing dinghy and am wondering how to properly (restoration quality) fill the 1/16" to 1/8" gaps between the rabetted planks on the outside of the hull; Fitted cedar strips glued in? Epoxy tinted to match? Sikaflex calk? Thanks, Dan

Same place, Dan. Did 3 boats last summer. 1 had 20 % boards replaced and a new boom made by our "Gadansk" shipwrights. We laughed so much we had to sit down and wipe the tears off.
