Hi Et,

True, also a possibility of making a copy of an out of production hull. I've been trying to convince a local paddler to loan me his old K1 to do just that, so far without luck.

It's far easier btw to do this than making a mold unless you're planning on making lots of copies, a mold takes a gross amount of time.
