Strip: help with forms *Pic*

I'm building a Great Auk. When I put the forms on the strongback it doesn't look quite right to me. This pic shows the bow end. I was expecting the the bottom on the yak to be more flat instead of coming to a vee. Of course if you reverse the forms then the top of the boat will be shaped like an upside down vee. If you need to see other pics of the rest of the forms I'll post. Am I doing this right or are my forms messed up?
