I'm already ahead of ya ... I've been doing that all along! On the Outer Island, the area outside the cockpit cut out and down to the shear has quite a bit of bend and twist between of the low and flat aft deck and the curved front deck. This is the area that's messing with me. As you strip down towards the shear, the bend required at the fore deck decreases but the twist increases.

Thanks!

: Place your cockpit
: cutout pattern in place and if the problem area is under the pattern,
: forget about it because you are only going to cut it out anyway. Just run
: the strips a few inches into the cockpit opening coming from both ends and
: don't fuss about the bends.
