Nick, sorry to bother you but.....

I have turned the boat over and have looked at starting the deck. I am daunted by the turn from vertical stripping midship to horizontal stripping at the ends. I elected to use the rounded version of the G.A. and it looks like both sets of end forms are designed for a flat deck and the rounded midship area will require that I attach a strip vertically. Why didn't we start the first shear strip higher on the midship curve? Have I screwed up? Do I put a tapered partial strip along midship to get me into the more horizontal part of the midship forms? Desperate in Wisconsin. Thanks for anyones advice!
