    Hi

    I just finish fiberglassing of my hull. To help the fiberglass to turn over strakes and chines, I shape the chines with a 1/2" (13mm) radius and strakes with 1/4" (6mm) radius. The strakes are 4" (100mm) wide and the chines are 6" (150mm) wide. The boat is a very deep V planing hull.

    What is the maximum radius allowed for strakes and chines ?
    What is happend if I left strakes and chines like that ?
    How I can resquare the corners ?

    Thanks
