Strip: Aligning forms

Hello,

I'm in the process of aligning the forms for my Guillemot Play on a 2 X 4 strongback. The problem I am having is getting the centerlines and water line to line up perfectly. When I drive a screw into the cleats, it pulls the form out of position. I'm currently on the money with the water line, but varying +/- 1/16" inch on the centerline. When does one say "good enough" and get on with building? Thanks

Scott

Use strips to position the form
