I have worked out a rear brake and also a reverse system...all of which is work in progress. I have reduced my cockpit buck a bit.

Rear bodywork - shrink and stretch
I have made my back-top panel, which will support the sides. The folded (or rather slapped-down sides have been shrunk so as to form the radius of the boat-back, using my treadle shrinker. Incidentally, I made the treadle system during lock-down.
I formed two right-angle sectioned stringers which have been edge-shrunk to the same profile as the side of the back-top panel. I know that sounds complicated, but all will become clear.
These right-angular stringers will make the body-sides hold their shape, parallel to the slapped top panel edges.
