Joan, I think the cd idea is really fine, but if you ever want to use
wood try lightly spray gluing sandpaper on to the deck where you want
the compass and push the piece of wood back and forth in line between
the bow point and stern- an 80 grit with cedar should make quick work of
it.  YOu can also use this method for contouring a custom fit with foam.
