: The forms are marked so that you can do a cutout and slide them

: The length of the strongback just has to be adjusted to maintain

Hello Allan.

Thanks for the reply!
As I said, in the previous mail, it's not a problem per sé... It's just that
there are contradictions, and maybe someone else hits the same doubt.

I'll pass the strongback through the first form, and butt it against the second one.
As Nick's book suggests, the forms should be always on the _inside_ of the lines,
so the strongback in this case will be 13' 11" (with 1/2" thick forms). The stern
and bow drawings suggest different though (they suggest the strongback should
reach the markings, in which case it has to be 14' long). It'd be a pity if someone
cut his strongback to 13' 11" and wants it to comply with the drawings.
