Grant -

As you know, the Cirrus has numerous forms to shape the hull (for a S&G). Since it's a swedeform hull, I'd be concerned that the HULL is at the proper width based upon the forms at that part of the boat (the widest part of the hull is aft of your cockpit). If it's the deck that has spread out, I'd compress the deck. I'd want to make sure the hull matches the dimensions of the forms that were used.
