: With my Guillemot family and Night Heron designs you would need to hand bevel
: virtually all the strips with continously changing rolling bevels. You can
: get away without beveling the bottom between the chine and the keel. The
: deck does not require much beveling, but one pass of the plane will
: produce tighter joints.

: The Auk designs require less beveling particularly on the deck.

: In synopsis. C&B will generally be easier, accept for a few places on some
: boats. With care hand beveling will produce tighter joints.

Thanks, that's the kind of info I was looking for. I'm still in the early process of figuring out what I want to do first - Kayak (for me) or Canoe (for my dad). Then if it's the kayak, do I want to do S&G or strip? Then, do I get a kit, or do it myself. The decision tree can go on forever.
