Here are the BOW SIDE DIMENSIONS. Going to place gussets on either side of the side frame members and the bottom frame members. This will make where you only have to set the saws angle once per frame.
Added gusset on the top of the frame to help align nose form.

Frame 2: I will not notch the side frames, since it will be difficult to slope the notches, and just mark where they will be glued on the sides. Also going to mark where nose form butts up again top frame member, which will be alighed with gussets as well.

Frame 3 Dimensions: We lose the bottom side chine due to the hull bottom sloping up at this point, but since sides do not bend in yet, we still have same number of battens on bottom.
