"Kate has her channels on the bulwarks, peculiar to Paglesham smacks "
.....can someone explain what this means please?

Channels are strips of wood to which the chainplates are attached that hold the shrouds further away from the hull. The bulwarks are the part of the side of the vessel above the level of the deck.
So presumably Kate has her channels mounted on the bulwarks in a way that is peculiar. Given the forces involved it seems strange to mount them higher than the deck
