: Why not ask Rob's permission to use his lines and build SOF? You can get a
: rounder hull shape than 1934 by adding stringers and by their placement.

Or simply make a the 1934 hull narrower and/or deeper by using longer ribs and/or a deeper keelson . That's the beauty of SOF its easy to change depth and hull shape to get just what you want.

If it is your first skin on frame then be prepared to spend almost as much time building it then any other kayak construction method.
