The panels over the galley and nav station on this boat would have a curve to them. Were any of the panels on your 38 curved much? If so, how did you work that out with 1/4" plywood? I was thinking that 1/8" would work ok, but that 1/4" might have to be steamed, or slotted on the back, or something like that.
