I'm a first-time builder. The skeleton of my Expedition Sport is virtually complete and I'm trying to anticipate the stripping process. Assuming I "dovetail" the strips over the knife-edge stations, I note that most pictures show that builders run a flat strip (albeit forme in some way) arount the leading edges of stern & bow. How is that achieved? Will I be planing a flat spot arount the stern & bow after stripping?
TIA

PS I saw Aricasilver web page posting and and was seriously impressed with the boat building skills - I sincerely hope you don't have to start with that skill level!!
