Might take a look at the Laughing Loon website. Rob's method works fine for keeping the forms vertical and isn't all that difficult. I've used his method on several boats including strippers and SOF's. With any method having a way to fairly easily adjust the forms for alignment helps as you usually need to make small adjustments after the forms are set up to get everything perfect.
