In Response To: external strongback (sage)

After stripping/glassing the hull, remove the risers from each form, rotate the boat, leaving the forms intact inside the hull. I made some foam-lined cradles to support the hull while I stripped the deck. You can also use carpet slings, but the cradles hold the boat more securely.
