Stem to Stern Ash Strip

Hi all,

I am less then a week away from sanding my haul. I will sand a 1/2" wide flat section at the stem and stern and part way into the keel to glue my ash strip onto as I have seen many on the board do. Is there any reason why I shouldn't run this strip all the way from the stem and along the entire length of the keel to the stern. It looks like this would give the boat better straight steering and less side slippage in side winds.

John
