: The pattern itself does not present any particular problems, but
: the direction of the strips on the outside of the deck does.

: Check how sharp the bend will be at the end of the strips where
: they meet the hull.

: Why not use exactly the same pattern, but run those strips parallel
: to the sheerline?

That cam things tricky at the bow, where the sheerline is close to the top, so a strip running on top of the sheerline has to turn through almost 90 degrees from vertical to near horizontal
