Finally got the cedar strips cut and milled (B&C for the hull) and finally have the forms all lined up. Last night I put the first 3/4" wide strips at the sheer line. No poblem. Then I attached one 1-1/8" wide strip on each side. This wide strip was a little stiff to bend, but the staples on the first strip below held and no wood creaked or snapped and the sheer strip remained fair. My question is: how much will the hull deform when I have finished stripping and remove the forms? It seems like there may be some residual "memory" in the wood to go back to its natural state (straight). Is it the fact that I'm glueing it the way I want it that will make it stay? Have others used 1-1/8" wide strips successfully? I like the width so far because it appears that it will speed up the hull stripping.

Thanks for the help.
