Thanks Guys!

Just for clarification - I fully intend to lay one strip on each side of the boat at a time. I don't see how you can get it to match up correctly if you do more than that per side, plus I get about an hour after work every day to work on this - I doubt I'll get much further than that in a night. :)

Rob, are you saying to lay 3 keel strips (3 on each side) then work down from the sheerline to them, or are you saying to start from the sheerline and from the keel line, making sure I have at least 3 full strips at the keel, then working inward from both?

Thanks for your help!

: I agree with Rob. I also encourage you to do the same especially on
: your first build.
: I have been building the tail of a baidarka and after three tries
: doing it "my way" I trashed them all . When I did it
: the "Rob way" and it came out just fine.
: I expect striping the hull the way the instructions indicate will
: produce the best results.
: My 2 cents
