I built The Great Auk and rounded off the front and rear deck. I took the original three triangular deck points and rounded them off more or less by eyeball. I also installed the Gullimont cockpit design. I put the rear of the cockpit about 15 inches behind the center of boyancy but wish I had placed it 17 or 18 inches as I have some weather helm.

: Has anyone out there built a Great Auk with modifications to the original
: plans? If you have I would be interested in knowing what changes you made
: and how the boat performs. I recently finished building an Auk and would
: like to build another but I want to round the top of the foredeck and
: slightly raise and round the aftdeck. I am also considering a change to
: cockpit location.
