Rehd,
Nice forms. I would take this one step further and do the lay up similar to glued lapstrake. With the stringers in place, clamp the plywood to the side, mark a line on the plywood, unclamp it, cut it , and stick it back on.

: These are my Walrus forms, mounted to the bench. You can see that they are
: straight sided and would be very easily adapted to plywood construction.
: Just follow the break points on each form, possibly using a straight-edge
: and mark off your plywood sections. Cut them out and then you could either
: Stitch and Glue them, or you could cut them out, and attach them back to
: the forms with screws, small brads or ?? double sided tape. Then just seam
: them together with epoxy and or glass tape on the inside of the joints
: between the forms. Lift them off the forms and finish the inside job
: before continuing to the outside. You can shorten or lengthen the form
: distance and increase, or decrease the length of the boat. 16' to 18' with
: the same forms. Hope that clears it up a bit. :)
