In Response To: Strip: Aligning forms (Bob May)

Yea, I agree. Take your time when setting up your cross sections. I also begin with the stripping of the hull. I align the peek ends with the middle line that I drew in black magic marker along the length of my jig. Then eye the middle line at each cross section. But you know, when you build on a jig, its kinda hard not getting the boat to be straight...remember, "if she looks right..."

warm regards
