: How did you apply the stretch to the Guillemot design? Is the extra length
: distributed in equal increments between all the forms, or is it
: concentrated near the middle?

It was purely a linear stretch. Every form spacing was at 12.75" rather than 12". I wanted to keep the volume in the ends.

:I know you also raised the foredeck a bit,
: but were the heights and width otherwise unchanged?

Yes. I raised the foredeck out to about form 4. 1" at 10, 9, 8, and 7. about 3/4" at 6 and 11, 1/2" at 5 and 12, and a bit less than 1/4" at 4 and 13 (if memory serves me correctly. I didn't otherwise alter the underwater profile, except for the length stretch. The ends remained unchanged to keep weather helm to a minimum.
