Ok, put the hull aside for a while, it is time to work on the deck. Assemble with wire the full length deck pieces and the four forms. Again for the forms, these forms are temporary to hold shape and will not be glued in place.
If you look closely approximately 2 feet in front of the cockpit, you can see one of the puzzle joints on the sheerpanel. They sort of blend in to the boat more and more with each phase of completion.
Don't be intimidated about the awesome shape of the deck of this boat. It does look great but will take on shape seemingly on its own as you wire up tighter and tighter. It would be good to have a helper for the largest of the forms, this one will be tight making that bend but you can do it yourself with patience. Do not worry about a little bit of an air gap here and there, this is not a precise operation, each boat being a little different and unique.
