> Another way is to use a reversed strongback a cradle. Either a full length or a not so full (of the hull). Connect the stations with planks. Place one along the shear line. Now you have full controll over the hull shape. You can clamp the side panels of the hull against cradle. And if you fit beams across the cradle you can use the to hold the bottom panels in place by use of wood pieces. You can allso fit a tread from steem to stearn and check that the hull is symetrical. If you build a complicated cradle you don't even need to stich
