In Response To: Re: Well said ....MAYBE ? (Joe)

Finally understand what you were saying better. You're saying that it is an "advantage" to be able to have deck and hull on both FORMS and STRONGBACK (glassed OR unglassed) at the same time .... You're saying it is an "advantage" over having both deck and hull (exterior of hull glassed) together on only the forms without the strongback (as with an external strongback). Now that I see your point I see why I missed it in the first place. I see no issue at all with maintaining the correct profiles of hull/deck "alignment" by having the deck and hull together on the forms with the exterior of the hull glassed and off the strongback. With the hull exterior glassed there is no need anymore for the strongback. And the deck/hull alignment is maintained by the forms and glassed hull, so the "advantage" you mention is not one over an external.
