Deck Recore: How many sheets of balsa?

Hi guys...
I want to go ahead and recore the deck on Pylasteki in the next week or two.
How many sheets have you guys used?
If my measuring is correct one sheet ought to do the bow. I think two will do the side decks, but I'm not sure I'm not sure as my measurements don't account for the curve... Three sheets looks about right for just the deck plus a fourth to do the cockpit floor.
Thoughts? (I'm trying to not buy a whole lot of extra, or I'm going to spend my life making light weight parts that really should just be plywood. Help save me from myself... grin!)
