Starting The Deck

I flipped the boat using the usual "rope" technique.
Everything looked pretty good, except that there was a little "hump" in the design of the ends of the bow & stern. I puzzled for a while about how to strip around it for a while, then decided to sand it down. I know  that I can strip fairly without sticking to the forms 100%,

 I had to move form #5 in the bow, and form #14 in the stern to make the center strip run fair. I actually considered leaving them out, but it looked like a long stretch between forms. Again, I can manage to run fair strips without "slaving" to the forms.

Again, I used scab boards to straighten the narrow center strip. 
Observation and Revelation 😉 : If it looks straight, it is straight. In the end, your eye will tell you if something is or isn't straight or fair. In the past, I have come up with involved methods to align things by measurement, that looked crooked when done. Let the straight strips be straight! 😉
