In Response To: S&G: Strip deck for chesapeake 17 (John Richardson)

Glad to see others have done this before me.
I want to build the S&G kayak from the plans provided at guillemot-kayaks.com but, I want to put a strip deck on it. With the radical upswept ends, can you think of any problems that might pop up? The Chessy is fairly flat when looking down it's length.
Any ideas on how to go about building a form to work with on this?
I've never done strip or S&G but, I know my way around a wood shop pretty well. I figured this was a way to try both techniques at the same time and have a nice looking yak at the end. (Or a nightmare of compund curves and flat spots)
Thanks for any advice.
-David
