Strip: SOF to Strip

OK so I admit to it - I have the bug.

Boat #1 was an SOF F1, #2, a strip Cape Ann Storm, is about finished, and I am looking towards #3. I have seen some lovely examples of strip kayaks built from SOF designs.

My question to those who have done these is do you use the wider spaced SOF forms or do you interpolate the offsets to create more closely spaced forms to get a better hull shape? Is it this simple or should I consider loading the offsets into a CAD program and let it do the curve smoothing?

Happy New Year to all and may 2012 be a safe and wild year,

Bill
