Strip: Proper bevel for top of Great Auk bow form

Ok I am building the Great Auk out of the book. I'm getting ready to glue the 6 and 12in sectional forms onto the bow form and I'm not sure how to proceed. Nick mentions in the book that the top of the bow form must be beveled slightly to accomodate the v shape of the deck at the centerline. What angle of bevel is appropriate? Would you just stick to the angle of the 24" form? Also is it beveled all the way to the tip of the bow at the same angle? Thanks guys.
