Coho Notch Not

I came to the point in the Coho instructions where it said to file the notch square where the end of the deck ridge panel fits into the deck panel. I choked at the idea of squaring what appeared to be a perfect, mating,curved fit- call it 1st-boat fear.

I called Pygmy,and I understood them to say that until recently, one of the two mating pieces was square, and the rounded one had to be filed to fit. Now, both are cut rounded (like mine), and fit w/o filing. The instructions haven't been updated.

If I have this right, confirmation from s/o at Pygmy would be a good way to post this update to the instructions, if not, please correct me. Thanks
