: I have made a little more progress on the strip built I designed using the
: KayakFoundry. Coming along just fine.
Looks like it's going to be a beautiful boat. How do you like Kayak Foundry? I have been playing around with it and have been fine tuning a Greenlander and an Eastern Canadian type.Having never built a strip boat though, I was wondering how flat you can make the deck profile with this method.

In the body plan window of Kayak Foundry, what do the red outlined stations mean? I started another greenland type and several of the stations stay outlined in red. Also, if I may,is it possible to acheive more flare in the sides of the hull or is this a constraint of the program or this type of construction? I know Kayak Foundry has a massage board and I have been meaning to post my questions there but have somehow managed not to.
