: Shape should be detirmined by the forms, is the hull tight against the forms?

: Bill H.
Yes, the hull is quite tight on the forms - which may be related to my hand-lofting the plans, a cutout that smoothed the forms, or strips that, while flat, are just laying wrong. I think that laying a keel centerline might have caused me to cut a corner on the steepest part of the form, so that while it's laying flat, it also flattens out the steepest part of the curve.
