In Response To: S&G: Guillemot Play forms (Paul)

: Hello, I just received the plans for the Guillemot Play and I have started
: cutting the forms. The paper that is, not the actual plywood forms. On
: page 2/6 of the plans is a drawing of all the forms stacked with the left
: side representing the stern, and the right side representing the bow (the
: normal drawing of a kayak from both ends).

: The rest of the pages have the outlines (with numbers) for the forms with
: registration and sheerlines.

: The numbers seem to be backward... I mean that form 1 on page 4/6 matches
: form 16 on page 2 and #16 on page 4 matches #1 on page 2. This is true of
: all the forms I have cut so far.

: Did I miss something in the directions ?

: On the Play, the rear deck is lower/flatter than the front deck. But the
: numbered forms look like the forward deck is flatter. This is assuming
: that #1 is near the bow which is what the end forms state.

: It is easy to just change the form numbers but I want to make sure I'm not
: loosing my mind and reading this all wrong ;-)

: Thanks
: Paul

: Ps - Ice has formed on the Hudson River, ending the paddling season for my
: friends and I. Hopefully the 2005 season will start soon, but it doens't
: look like it !

Paul,

Good observation, I noticed the same thing while assembling my Play. Just change all the numbers. Good luck.

Scott
