In Response To: External stern or not? (Lomic)

You are right John, I am just thinking about that issue. I would go for the external stern, but I have to figure out how to do it properly, so I would take any advice since you seem used to this method :)

You are communicating well in English, but don't be confused between 'stern' (arriere) and 'stem' (étrave)!

There are some instructions on this page at Bjorn Thomasson's website (scroll down)

There's a good video by Nick on YouTube:

I usually do the final shaping of the stem by placing strips along the molds and testing to see if they have good contact with the stem.

As you can see, you'll need to detach the end forms and cut away some material where your stems will be placed.
