Strip: Petrel Build question

I'm building a Petrel and my stripping effort is approaching the hard chine. Should the chine be sharp (mitered) or does it get a slight radius (spread across 3 strips)? I have some radius on my forms, so I could do either. I'm thinking the two or three forms where the chine is the sharpest should be mitered.

If you've built one or two please chine in.
