: Hello,
: I finally got the setup of my "Guillemot Expedition Single" perfect
: ... at least I thought I did.
: I opted to place the cleats on the back side of the forms, leaving the center
: line's more visable, and sight the whole boat from the bow. This meathod
: just seemed to work for me and all went well. I was well chuffed after the
: previous results I had had.
: However I now realize that I have made a mistake :o(
: I placed all the forms on the back side of the alignment mark ! This
: effectivly means that I have lengthened the kayak by 1/2" (12mm)
: between forms 10 and 11.
: Question is, is this enough of a problem that I should take off forms 11
: through 17 and reposition them ?
: If you guys say I should then I will, if you say that it won't make a big
: difference to the handling of the boat then I could do without the extra
: work and will get on with the stripping :o)
: Cheers
: Ian
Ian, If you want to make a Guillemot Expedition Single, I suggest you move the forms, That way you will be assured of the results the designer had in mind.
I love my boat the way it was designed.
My 2 cents, Elliott
