I think you're right Marc. The keel and deck stringers are anchored in notches in the stem and probably contribute a lot to the stiffness of the bow. The chines and gunwales lashed to the sides of the stem may not be as stiff. I'll extend the deck ridge below the gunwales to the stem as you suggested.
