Strips 9-15

Strips #12 portside &  #11 starboard
Because I have spend so much effort at the aft, forcing the planks in all the curves, I have a problem at the front now:

I was too much focusing on making one strip neat on the other, I did not notice that in the front, the strips must be twisted as well. Now there is a gap of about 1 cm between moulds 2-5 seen from the stem.
   
Above you can see that the strips must be forced in three different directions:
1    right on top of the previous one,
2    towards the mould,
3    to twist them
Strip # 10 was twisted on two positions, the folowing ones most probably twisted between almost every mould
#12, at least 20 clamps for one strip neccesery
#15!, I am getting around the bilge now. 28 clamps were needed over the whole length to bend the strip against the mould.
