: My question: Will it be difficult to strip build with stations 2 feet apart?
: It seems an awfully big distance to keep the strips together without
: resorting to some sort of improvised system.

: I have no problem lofting from a set of offsets, which brings up question
: number 2: Is there anyway for me to calculate the offsets for additional,
: "in between" stations? I'm guessing I could probably do it with
: sophisticated hull design software, but is there any "back of the
: napkin" short cuts?

: Any advice would be appreciated!

: Thanks in advance,

Charlie,

Perhaps you can generate (measure) your own offsets for intermediate forms from the plans. Or, setup the given stations and measure offsets for intermediate forms when checking fairness. The second option could be more accurate than working off scaled drawings, and it would allow you to try stripping at two foot intervals before deciding it would be too difficult.
