If I understand you correctly you're planning on lifting the forms out straight up. Instead you can slide them toward the wider, middle of the boat. If you're using an external strong back you can release the forms then twist them sideways so they can be lifted straight out.

John

As for "trapping the forms" I mean that it seems that as the strips will be applied from sheer line to keel, they curve around several of the forms from a narrower point on the form to a wider part of the form, which would prevent the form from being lifted out of the hull directly. It would be necessary to remove all the spacers and collapse the forms to the center of the strong back, in order to remove the hull from the forms. Is that the way you do it?
