: Im ready to place my last three hull strips either side of the keel, the
: strip adjacent to the keel side is next to go and the cove edges face each
: other on both the sheer side and keel side strips. Shouldn't I cut the
: cove off this third to last strip and the cove off of the second to last
: strip creating a square sided hole to place the final wedge shaped piece?

Yes. That is how I have done my final hull strips and it worked out fine.
