: 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,

Sorry, I've only gone the other way by taking cross sections off of one kayak
to make an SOF. I built a woodstrip canoe years ago this way from another one.
Of course there were many more plot points on the rounded canoe sections. I've
never tried to create S&G panels this way from a SOF.

The pic is just an example of how it's done.

Please clarify: are you building S-O-F or S&G?
