Hi Chris,

I have no experience with this, but I have thought about it. I sure others can add comments to this or better ideas.

If the hull and deck meet on a nearly vertical plane, this makes it easier to allow a pattern to cross the sheer line.

If the hull and deck meet at an angle - resulting in a defined edge - this will be hard to extend a strip across.

If the hull and deck form a smooth transition, but quickly change shape, there may be a couple of options.

1. Allow the strip to transition only a little bit past the sheer and "pop" the deck off the form (use your judgment as to how much).

2. Allow the strip to transition a lot across the sheer (from deck to hull), but only on one side. On the opposite side, let the hull strips wrap up onto the deck. Then you may be able to get the deck off the forms at an angle rather than pulling straight up. It may be possible to do this fore of the cockpit and do the opptsite aft of the cockpit and remove the deck with a kind of twist.

Just what I've thought. I'll let others offer comments or criticisms.

Steve
