: how do I align the
: stern with the bow while my reference lines are facing opposite
: directions? How close does all this alignment have to be? Exact? Close
: enough?

clamp a horizontal pc of scrap across the c/l horizontal on a form close to the bow and then you have stern alignment reference.

simple if put one on the bow side and one on the stern side, then can move back and forth checking. could make a upside down T if you want to do centring at the same time, or easy to just put a black mark on top of ea form.
