Your looking towards the bow of the interior of the starboard side outer hull section . I had to use some creative scaffolding techniques so that I could work the peel ply over the epoxy and 24 oz triaxial glass. If you do this, make sure someone knows that your working in the shop otherwise, the neighbors may find you stuck to it like fly paper or those horrible sticky mouse traps.
You'll also notice a stack of 40 lb. bags of wood pellets to help persuade the other days transition to lay flat. The plastic bags won't stick to the saturated peel ply so I should be able to lift them up and have a rather seamless transition from two separate days of lamination.

so... your form is the male side of the mould ? In other words your top side of the fiberglass now is the outer side of the finished boat? Its hard to see... but i don't have much experience.
The form is actually the female. Ian Farrier has developed a really clever method of building that allows you to modify the mold templates slightly to create the other half section of each hull. Once you do both inner and outer "halves" of one hull, you can then flip the templates around on the strongback, re -lay your stringers and do the same to build the pieces for the other hull.
