Most hard-chined s&g boats are shallow v. So is the Guillemot. You could also try taking the lines off of your Isere and build your own custom-designed stripper.

If you go the "design your own boat" route, I'd suggest visiting the Canoe and Kayak Design BBS, especially if you're going to significantly deviate from a proven design.

: Thanks for the reply. To answer your question, the Isere is/was made by
: Pheonix. It is 14' 9" long and weighs only 28 lbs. It is a high
: volume fiberglass shallow V (I think) river touring kayak that has been
: around. People used it for sea kayaking before more dedicated designs were
: available. It is good to about class 3 whitewater due to its inability to
: turn quickly - reasonably flat keel line. Any other information about
: books on strip kayak building would be appreciated.
