Hi Glen,

I would suggest that if you were to do it the way you had suggested that you use two piece forms, one part for the deck and one for the hull, that way they can be fairly easily separated when it's time to cut the sheer and you then won't have the clearance problems. Then refasten the deck forms and continue stripping the deck.
