: The S&G hull can easily be converted to a non-traditional SOF by taking off
: cross section offsets every couple of feet or so. ( see pic)

: The only issue that may arise is the gap between the keel and chines. You may
: want to consider an extra set of chines only if the gap at the widest
: interval
: exceeds 10" or so. Otherwise, I have found that the skin
: "concave" gets a bit
: excessive. On the Combi-Double/Single folder, I've added an extra set of
: chines for double use, but remove them for single paddling. (See LINK)

: I've used redwood, cedar, and pine for stringers on this type kayak with
: plwood cross sections. Screw and glue (Epoxy) is used for stem/stern
: connections, and squidding line/epoxy for stringer to cross section
: connections.

Tom,

It would be great if you could expand further on how you go about lofting from a SOF design to making a S&G. I am likewise having been thinking about this. Your picture provides a clue but I have gaps in my mental imaging of how the whole process would go.

Thanks,
