Hi Rob. I have built on both types of forms and for a kayak I like the box beam approach. I was just wondering if it can be done. The ability to turn the whole form over without disturbing the stations is a very nice way of building. You have designed a great kayak and one that I have been very interested in building. Can it be done or is there too much rocker in the hull to allow this?
Best regards, Erich
