In Response To: Strip: How much "pinch" in a Guillemot? (Andy Boyd)

: I've ready about some folks having trouble with the keel strips laying tight
: to the Guillemot forms, resulting in a rounded stern and poor tracking.
: I've just finished my hull stripping, and although my 3/4" strips lay
: tight to the form, there stern hull still looks fairly round, with a small
: "V" shaped keel at a fairly obtuse (fat) angle.

: Should I worry about this? Is there a photo example of what a
: "correct" Guillemot stern would look like?

: Thanks,

: AB

Shape should be detirmined by the forms, is the hull tight against the forms?
