I hope it has not splayed out, as I have not kept any horizontal spacer bars on it. I was thinking of making some to try to bring the hull back to specs if it has shifted. It is actually difficult to measure the widths at various points along the forms, as the strongback gets in the way. Any advice on all of that?

Jay-
I don't suppose you have those very helpful lines of staple holes to help locate your form locations? ;-)

I'd just wait until attaching the deck to massage the hull and deck together. If the hull has been sitting for a month, it is about as stiff as it's going to get, IMO.

I don't understand exactly the problem with measuring the spec widths at the sheer - do you not have your plan sheets or offsets?
