From my shipbuilding days (I built three...) I recall lightly gluing the waterline piece to a small piece of glass, then adding the hull formers to that. Even Bristol board is going to have some slight curve to it, with the potential to curve even more depending on humidity.

The waterline piece sets the stage for literally everything above it, so it's got to be flat. I learned that the hard way....
