Or take the Arctic Hawk approach:

Install a temporary bulkhead at the forward end of the cockpit, with the correct deck radius cut into the top. The temp bulkhead need not extend the full width of the boat, just enough to induce the right camber.

Install the deck, 'glass it, then tap the bulkhead out with a mallet. No deckbeam stays behind.
