I got the book "The strip-built sea kayak" by Nick Schade. I have decided to buld a great auk kayak. On page 52 in the book there is a table of offsets. I have plotted these offsets in to a program on my computer to draw the plans. The problem is at form 4 (ft). At deck buttock 8inch I find the nukmer (height) 4.45. Is this right? All the forms look right exept the form at 4 ft. If I change 4.45 to 4.85 the form seems to "correspond" better with the orthers. Anyone who know if there are a reason why this height is 4.45? Could it be a type-error in the book?
