: Hey Guys....I hate to sound dumb, but is there a formula as to
: where the location of the cockpit should be cut out on my 11'
: LITTLE AUK..how far up from the stern should it start????.....I
: know this will make a big difference in the balance and
: stability of the Kayak....Can anyone give me some info on
: this....Thanks

Hi Gordon, I have Nick's plans for his Night Heron and it shows the location of the cockpit on both pages ,both distance from bow to front of cockpit and stern to to rear of cockpit page two shows cockpit laid out on the forms.hope this is helpful BTW you will also find Bill Hamm to be very much a gentleman with a welth of
knowledge that he shares with every one freely. Good luck with your build and please show us pictures when finished Best Nick R.
