Yup, that's the tough one. The flat deck version would be a piece of cake but on the round top option the bow and stern transition isn't just tight, it's 90 degrees! The strip needs a really wierd bevel so we just built a custom strip that tapered to nothing at the ends. No big deal,just one little stick at a time and VOLIA! the thing is done. We went from start to finish in 4 months working 2-3 nights a week
: I assume you are referring to the tihght curve at the deck shear on the Great
: Auk. I used 1/4"X1/4" B&C strips, they made the curve with ease
: and look good.
