Let's not make rolling bevels any more difficult than they are, either.
All that's required is to install the squared strip a tad overlong at stem and transom, then cut the bevel using a shoulder plane, keeping it on a 90-degree tangent to the molds. As the molds curve outward into beam or inward into tumblehome, so does the plane and resulting bevel.
If the plank lands in a stem rabbet, then take the plane's nose off, switching to its chisel plane mode. Or simply use a chisel if you don't have a chisel plane.
On a larger traditional stripper from 6/4 square edgenailed strips, builders simply countersank the nails and used a Stanley #10 rabbet plane to bevel the strip 90 degrees to the curve of the molds.

““Perhaps then, you will say, ‘But where can one have a boat like that built today?’ And I will tell you that there are still some honest men who can sharpen a saw, plane, or adze...men (who) live and work in out of the way places, but that is lucky, for they can acquire materials for one third of city prices. Best, some of these gentlemen’s boatshops are in places where nothing but the occasional honk of a wild goose will distract them from their work.” -- L Francis Herreshoff
