: I also was looking for a double set of plans I settled on the San Javier double just because of it's looks . If you are going by plans the San Javier are nice to work with full size no double printing on one sheet of paper .I am only at the cut out stage so far the plans seem well laid out ,the owners are very helpful with questions good luck While many S&G kayaks are hard chined, many are multichined. The more panels,
: the closer the approximation of a smooth curve. It really depends on the
: model. I realize that you are looking at doubles, but to illustrate my
: point, you can take a look at Nick's S&G version of the Guillemot. It has
: a hull shape that is very close to the hull shape of his strip built
: version of that same boat. I've heard others mention on this board that
: there are slight handling differences between the two, but they are very
: similar.

: Here is a link to a page on CLC's site. You may already have seen it, but if
: you scroll down, it explains the handling differences of hard chined boats
: versus multichined boats.
