: What I still don't see is, if you have an internal strongback and you do the
: deck and then the hull, you won't be able to get at the forms to whack
: them free, because they are inside the boat.
: So, you must have to do the hull, then take it off the forms, and do the
: deck.

You just dont glue the two strips joining at the shearline. That way, when you have built both hull and deck, you can lift off the deck to remove the strongback.
