In Response To: Skin-on-Frame: yost sea rider (eric Ogata)

On my build of the SR, my gunnels were 16' after trimming, other stringers shorter. Started with one 18' plank. If you have to scarf, put the scarf towards the ends rather than cockpit.

Other posters are correct that it's ok to wind up shorter or longer but make sure you order skin long enough! A friend built one with 18' gunnels untrimmed (oops) and found out the hard way that the 6 yards of nylon ordered for a kayak 17' 6" was, well, only 6 yards. His SR with stems "came out" around 19' 3"! Measure twice.
