: Charles,
: Thanks for the heads up on stripping the stern! I currently have three strips
: per side on the hull, and will pay close attention to the concave area as
: I continue along the end form.

Hey Chris,

Now is also a good time to recheck the alignment of your end forms. When I stapled the first strip to the bow end form of my "L" I pushed it out of line with the staple gun and didn't notice it until my wife pointed it out at the end of stripping the hull. Man! Talk about a pain in the butt to fix!! So check it now before you add any more strips. It's much easier to deal with now than after the stripping is complete.

Happy Yakin'.

Charles.
