Strip: Help setting up.

Hello,

I am attempting to build a Guillimot Expedition Single, and have just started to place my forms on my 2x4, but things do not seem to be going well :o(

I placed the center form (number 10 I think)and lined it up with my horzontal and vertical alignment marks. Next came form 9 then form 8. Now this is where I seem to be getting into trouble. From what I can tell these three forms should line up, but they do not.

Question is, is it form 9 that is out or form 8 ?

Is it best to progress on with the other forms and then check after ?
It's just that I figure that if it starts wrong here, the whole kayak shape could end up twisted if I am not careful.

Many thanks for the help,

Ian
