Preparing the forms.

The plans come with 21 forms printed on A2 that need to be cut out and glued to 15mm (17mm might have been better) ply, cut out with a jig saw, trimmed down with the band saw and then sanded to the lines.  There are a bow and stern form and 19 forms to be mounted on the strongback 12'' apart.

Cutting them all out took longer than you might think  - back to kindergarten for me.

This picture illustrates laying out the form templates in preparation for gluing.

I used a spray glue (Kwik Grip Spray Contact Adhesive).  Not all of the forms stuck properly the first time and I ran out of glue before completing half of the forms.  This meant that I needed to buy more glue and return the next day to complete the job - the form templates stuck better when a little time was allowed between spraying the paper and placing the paper on the wood.  After using 2 cans I still had one from to do - so I used wood glue.  BIG MISTAKE.  Although laid on the wood nicely it turned into a wrinkled mess. 😞
