In the old day's how did drafters (or lofters's I think they call them) draw the bow and stern on the kayaks?
My question, I think is, the up swept portions and keel lines must have some sort of curve when laid flat but Are not shown when drawn 2d front /side/ top. This is for S&G construction. I know theirs software out there that does this automatically but I'd like to try and draw one from paper. Did they cut and make a pattern first then draw it on blue print or the other way around?
Thanks for any help
