: Thanks for your reply Les. I was thinking that if I decide to do

: according to the scaled dmensions. This would ensure that the
: original shape was retained but everything would be smaller.

: that has a 230 lb capacity.

Hi Greg.

I can see your thinking and since you have the figures in a CAD programme
it would not be a complete start from scratch.

I don't know what the scaling of the width would do to stability.
You're looking at OA 19.3" and WL 19.1". Before you go down this route
I think you should seek Nick's advice. It could just be very close to his Guillemot L.
You will have lost a whole lot more bouyancy than I did in my build since my mid
section was relatively unchanged. The greatest loss was in the length not normaly
in the water anyway.

Good luck anyhow, which ever route you decide to go down.
