Hallo!
Yeah, so, ok, I messed up a little on my Cormorant. My deadrise is 2" instead of 1 1/2". This makes her a bit tippy... What can I do about it now?
Ideas:
1: take classes on rolling and get used to being wet most of the time
2: use training wheels until I get used to the tippiness or am a bit more stable myself
3: using something like a dado, cut a strip out of the hull and stitch 'er back together tighter - with less deadrise
Problems (numbers are respective):
1: Cost, I guess.
2: Tee hee. All of the other 'yakers will laugh and point! And it'll slow me down a lot. And I won't be able to turn as well...
3: Youch! But, she's already DONE! I don't think that the sides will move that much - I used a lot of resin...
I guess I'm leaning towards a combination of 1 and 2... Any other brilliant ideas? She is the one at the bottom in Andy's cormorant thread...
