Great write up. You did a great job of pulling it off. Thanks for building! If you want to add another frame in the 34-inch section, just email me and I'll send you the drawing. I have three questions for you.

1. Here's the spacing rational, which is easy enough to change. 1. Limit the number of stations to three on each side. 2. Place one at the front and rear of the cockpit. 3. Put one up against each stem. 4. Split the difference on the final one. It's easy enough for me to revise the section placements. Do you think I should go to four up front and evenly space the two between the cockpit front and the stem station?

2. Can you elaborate or show my a picture of the deck shoulders. I think I see it. It looks like a hard bend past the middle station. I can move that over to make the bend unnecessary. That's an artifact from the S&G version. If you just cut those beams even with the middle station instead of running them past would the fabric flow over it okay and look good?

3. How does the distance between the rear of the coaming and the front feel?

Thanks for building. I appreciate it! I can't wait to see the final skin on it and to hear more about how it paddles for you. I love the strip version.
