I noticed you’re knees over the stringers where they cross the forms. Great idea. There is just too much tension from the twisting torc of the stringers on the forms. If I decide to make another set of forms, I’ll use plywood instead of particleboard.

It looks as if you are also going with a 2” thick stem. What were your criteria in deciding the shape of the stern and bow? The bows’ shape has nice transitions.

I’m also going to use your system this weekend for figuring floor shape and dimensions. I messed around with it for 4 hours and gave up. Your method looks solid.

Thanks for the ideas, Roger
