You could make forms to go in betwixt by laying a small frame on the next closest larger frame (i.e. a bow frame on top of the next rearward frame, or a stern frame on the next foreward frame) and drawing a curve that splits the difference between the two. If there isn't any datum water line to line the frames up with, a bit of guessing would be involved. Lining up the shear points should work, though. Dean
