: 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. (

Hi, Tom Yost's website yoswterks.com may include some helpful information on this type of lofting, it is used in the type of kayak frames he illustrates. If that does not help post again you will find help here.
