I guess that a P51 comparison for Lucky Dawg is a bit of a stretch. Talisman is an impressive looking boat under sail.

and thanks Paul. I just went ahead and varnished it flat. The bend in the deck is only about 1/2" as you know, so I'm hoping that it'll sit flush once the traveler is attached. It may need a fastener at the forward edge... will play it by ear.
