Tom,

I really appreciate the way you add the dimensions on all your posts. Your website is a wealth of knowledge. I was even clicking around a folding kayak website and they gave you praises. I can't recall the site now.

I'm going to embark on that folder soon. I'm going to try to get some HDPE shipped in to me for the station molds.

Here's a question for ya... when doing a folder with a lot of rocker to the sheerline, how do you keep the curvature of the sheer. It seems if you cut all the forms and snapped the stringers into the holes, then it would "self-level" into a straight sheerline. I did notice some of your boats use a fabricated wood sheerstrake. Is that a nescessity on boats with a lot of rocker?

Thanks,

Malcolm
