: If you don't do this now you will spend the rest of your life wondering if
: you made this boat the right way. This will be one more reason to build
: another boat. Once you get started on the second boat it is a slippery
: slope down hill. You ARE addicted! Admit it and get on with ordering plans
: for the third boat. :)

: Seriously, though, the difference will be slight to unnoticeable, if you
: continue. However, if you chose to fix things now you will have a rather
: easy time. Start at the middle fothe boat and jsut move one form at a
: time. You'll have all the others in place, and they will provide reference
: points to help you line it up again once you have moved it the necessary
: 3/4 inch distance along the strongback.

: Hope this helps

I only built one but the key is the fairing of the form. In the process you get hung up on the minor things, In the end you will have a kayak that will make your heart soar. Don
