: OK I am onto the bottom of the boat now. I want to put a keel strip
: down each side of the keel. So when these strips come to the bow
: stem should they lay straight? I would have to trim both edges.
: The lower edge to join the last strip on the side and then trim
: what is sticking out past the stem. Or make a bend right at the
: end so the Keel strip follows the stem? And just trim the lower
: edge to match last strip.

: I better go watch that video again.

These two keel strips would transition from laying horizontal mid ships to vertical at the stems ie [almost]a 90 degree twist in each strip.The outer stems which are yet to be put on, would [could] need these two strips mostly planned off in this area to make the landing for the stems to be glued on.
I guess this is what your after.
