: Hi guys, I have been trying to get my head around the free plans
: for the guillemot kyak the panel offsets are ok but I do not
: follow the form offsets can anyone give me a walk thru.

Do you have access to the book "The Strip-Built Sea Kayak" by Nick Schade? (Nick is the designer of the Guillemot) Chapter 4 "Lofting" walks you through the process. A quote from chapter 4: "The Guillemot, because of its complicated shape, is the most demanding boat in this book to draw. [...]"

If your time is worth money, you can buy pre-drawn full-sized station plans from CLC. ( http://www.clcboats.com/shop/boats/boat-plans/kayak-plans/guillemot-strip-built-sea-kayak-kit.html )
