Here is a picture of the purchased plans.
You can see the deck line of the #1/2 form is parallel but a little higher than the #1 form, and it is closer to horizontal.

I believe Morris's lofting has almost a 45 degree angle on the deck of the #1/2 form.
If his bow form peaks at the same height as my plans, there will be a severe and sharp dip in the gunwale between the bow and the #1 form.

But like I said, you can always fix that after assembling the complete form.
Others have talked about "fairing" the completed tool - we are saying the same thing.

I blew up the last picture and the #1/2 form also clearly is parallel to the #1 on the deck lines.
