: 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).

That is almost exactly how I was considering doing it, and how I may if I build the second boat. However I was going to screw in temporary deck beams for the stripin process, then remove all for fiberglassing, and possible put some back in around the hatches, once the bottom was fiberglassed.

: 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.

I do not know what he wants for payment for the building of second boat. I was hoping it was free too (don't forget to send your picture), but agree he deserves some payment.
