📝 compound bends

Almost ready to start applying the plywood sides so wondering which is the best way to go, especially at the bow where a compound bend is required to fit the frame profile.
Can one soak the plywood to make it more flexible? I'm only using 0.8mm plywood.

Again, many thanks for all your very detailed help. I am copying them and posting them in Pages document so I don't have to navigate the forum page!🤣

I find this forum very confusing, how to reply to a specific post and why doesn't the latest post appear at the top?
Any way, many thanks roycv for your most helpful and informative post.
So, complete the 3D model from the formers, crutches (the formers sit on these) and keel, great.
How does one normally transfer (for example) the deck outline from the drawing to the plywood sheet? I was thinking of using carbon paper? I could of course cut out the profile from the plan and stick it onto the deck ply?

Now starting to build and already need help.
The keel. It says to chamfer the edges - should I do this before I install the keel or after?
One the plan view, where exactly are the deck edges, there are several lines and don't want to waste wood cutting it to the wrong shape.
Thanks

Thanks royce, good point! I can't quite work out where the individual sides are on the plan, nor the deck? It's not very clear at all.
I will probably make a lot of the non loaded bits out of balsa to get the weight down!
