In Response To: S&G: Guillemot S&G Free plan building? (Kyle Lindstrom)

I've always heard that a S&G hull is just the sum total of the planks that make up it's hull. If you change any of the dimensions that changes the shape of the planks. Designers have access to specialized boat design programs like Rhino that can generate flat panel projections of all the necessary planks no matter how the dimensions are tweeked. I don't think you can do that with Autocad.

: Has anyone here made the Guillemot S&G kayak that is on the site for free? I
: downloaded the offsets and put it into Autocad. Just wondering if anyone
: made one and what problems you may have ran into or any changes you made.
: How did the bow and stern turn out where all the pieces come together? I
: did notice there are no locations for the cockpit but I assume I can grab
: the location from the Guillemot Strip kayak.
: Thanks in advance for you input.
