Tony,

As I remember it, until most of the keel wires were in and partially tightened, the whole thing was very floppy. The temporary forms didn't firm up until at least the next hull plank was in and wired to the forms. I've got a few pictures on the web at the link below. They include the one below which may be close to where you are in the build process. You can easily adjust the wires to get the forms in the proper position as you work your way up the sides of the hull.

Hope this helps.

Greg
