How far out to cut the recess

In Response To: Re: Cockpit recesses (Ross Leidy)

I am also building the Panache and didn't think of using a recess until just now. How far out do I cut it from the original cockpit location? By the looks of the deck, the recess will angle up (stern to bow) relative to the shear line (i.e. it won't be horizontal). This ok?

: Shawn, you forgot to mention the "coolness factor" of the recess.
