In Response To: Strip: Help setting up. (Ian)

: 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.

Can you be a little more specific. What is it that doesn't seem to line up? The centerline, waterline, deck surface?
