S&G: Symetrical form
By:Barry Adams
Date: 3/31/2002, 3:10 pm

I have just finished stitching together a Coho and I am not pleased with the shape (symmetry) from the last form to the stern. It looks lopsided, but the keel line appears to be straight, with most of the deformation occuring at the top (4th panel). I believe that once I attach the deck, it will pull into shape, but I am not overly confident due to the strength the mishapen area will gain when glassed. Any ideas or suggestions to eliminate the problem?
