Hello Gardner,
I think you are too concerned abought bending mold to curve. Even with 2" I do not think you will have a problem but you can always put some kerf cuts on inside of curve to allow it to flex more. You just put some packing tape over it to cover the cuts, it does not need to be a finished surface as it will be sanded and filled with adhesive of some kind to bond deck to hull. Whatever you do make a small test panel of joint before you commit to building full size boat.
Happy sailing,
George Kuck
Chestertown, Md;.
PS; I hope to have my boat back in water in a week or two, if you want you can stop by and go for a sail and we can discuss you building plans in more detail or I can sail by your house on the water and pick you up.
