: Hi again!

: With all the forms done I have run into a couple of questions that someone
: here can hopefully answer.
: I ended up re-drawing all the forms this time using Duncan R. Winnings
: original measurements but.......
: The measurements is (as I understand it) meant as a scientific documentation
: of the kayak. Therefore it is recorded with all the warps that the kayak
: have gotten through the years. The rear stem is even measured up to show
: just how crooked it has gotten. No problem straightening that out, but Im
: not sure about the keelline. On this drawing the keel actually have an
: "upwards bend" (the center of the circle describing the curve is
: BELOW the keel
: (hope this makes sense to you guys) Im wondering if that is a design feature
: or a warp of old age.

: I want to stay as close to the original hullshape as possible, but I would
: like to have it as it were when it was build, rather than how it was after
: years of use (and a move from Greenland to Scotland)
: Ill have to do some fairing, and probably a new set of forms before actually
