I did a search and found another post where you described cutting the forms laterally and adding height gradually from the bow toward the foot area.
My idea was to add height to the tops of the forms tapering towards the shear. But to get added space near the shear where my toes reside and not just at the peak of the deck would mean changing the deck counter somewhat.
So...with your method, did you strip the hull starting at the normal shear line and then make changes above the shear while stripping the deck? Or was the added height to the sheer part of the hull stripping?
Maybe it doesn't matter or maybe this will become clear to me when I actually start building.
