Terrible timing but I'll try to get a picture. I might have pictures on the old computer, sitting here one the floor, will have to look. The boats are hanging in the unheated garage and temps in the teens this weekend, a bit chilly to be out trying to take pictures.

The chine is really pretty simple, all straight strips, no taper at all, just the width of the tightest section of the chine and the same width carried to the ends. I used 1/4" strips to keep it stiff and with the arc built into the chine it's stiffer than a regular chine would be.

Just have to decide on the shape converting from a chine (squared) to a round shape.
