The Guillemot design is one of my favorites - either strip built, S&G, or hybrid. They also look very similar to each other in design, which is why I thought that Jack's was a S&G hull. I have lofted the strip form offsets, but am waiting until I build a few hybrids for my family's use. Then I hope to have the time/experience to start a strip kayak.
Building the stripped deck hybrid, I also believe it would be easier to have the sheer clamp attached to the deck side panel and just stripping the top deck only. I would probably install permenant bulkheads and deckbeams (made of a light-weight wood). The deckbeams could have a simple radius of 16-18" fore and 24-26" aft of the cockpit and be made of 1/2" to 3/4" thick and about an inch high light-weight wood, screwed into the sheerclamp, as few or as many as required for the deck pattern (of course fewer is better). This is what I have done on the small displays. I am working on the cockpit recess on one of the models, it should turn out nice. I need to take more pictures.
Has Nick ever told anyone how much he would like to be paid for people building their second, third, seventh S&G Guillemot (the first one was free). I believe he should be compensated for such an outstanding design.
