: In the basic shape of the stern,there is an obvious discontinuity between the
: 'keel' and the stern. And your breaking strips are telling you that. So do
: one of either. 1/ as you are intending and strip 'up'(actually down) from
: the sheer and make no step pc. or 2/ Put in a stem pc just to that
: location only and make a break pt. and you have a lot of freedom to play
: w/ this stem.

: You are actually in a better design position than others here w/ the
: guillemot, as there is no really obvious place to stop the stem pc there.

Thanks Mike for the advice.
John

: So be thankful, and go w/ the flow.
