: 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,

Hi Bill
I have built strip versions of several kayaks that started out SOF. I was given offsets for station forms spaced every foot by the designer, Tom Yost. If you wanted to get offset points from existing kayaks there is a good site for information on how this can be done.

John Caldeira has made the task easy to understand, check it out.
Hope this is what you were looking for.
