Once the hull was planked, I needed to flip the boat but still keep the hull on the frame. I made a couple of cradles to the curve of the hull. I simply used the plans and chose a couple of form outlines, laid them down on some plywood and used pushpins to mark the outline then cut the plywood. This really was not as complicated as I just described it.
With the forms built and boat flipped, I started the planks above the shear strip. The first small strip matched the ash accent strip.
