Jason Cajune (who builds the boats in the pictures) does masterful
work... and build the transoms by steam bending and torturing layers
of ply over a buck....

Ahhhh. I get it now, cool boat! Anyway, I still think you may need to
use multiple layers of 3mm. Even if you could bend the 9mm around the
bottom of the "cone" you would have to leave a lot of wood to get
ahold of, or use a lot of pressure which would mean making a pretty
good mold and press. Another way might be to use a couple of layers of
3mm with a layer of fiberglass inbetween and on each side. You would
not need to use thick glass, just want to make it a laminated core
type structure. If you are worried you could go with three layers of
3mm.
