I know last year was a thread handling this but I see no follow up , I don't know how far Ken Seaver and Michael White reached with their builds.
I posted this info request also on the qajaqusa forum.
As I want to give a try to a S&G or strip version of Brian Schultz's F1, I followed Harvey's survey from 2008 , Brian has on his site. I wish to build this kayak for my daughter(14) to grow in it.
I cut the forms according to the survey. I understand this part of the plan is approximative(front/back view) having in mind the way Brian is building his boats.
Issue 1. Comparing the dead rise of this kayak, at forms 6 and 8 , I observe a huge dead rise comparing to other kayaks(say, the Iggy, and Siskiwit SOF MC , or other popular free plans ) I measured deadrise of approx 14 to 16 degrees on 6th profile and about 12 degrees on the 8th profile. This is about the double I could find at greenland style kayaks and raised the primary stability question if my measurements are right or,if not, the way I expanded the plan. I only went to a print shop and asked to print the plan as is. Printing the plan shouldn't bring an error though. The plan came out nice, big enough to allow an error of no more than an millimeter
Can someone from those that have built the F1, confirm these dear rise angles?
Or better if somebody took the offsets from an existing build (I know some yost style F1 were in plan for last year) is willing to share the results? I need to confront these ofsets with the original survey, before I proceed further
Issue 2 with the plan. Reading some dimensions from the side view, are not matching same dimensions on the front/back view
Any help will be highly appreciated as I need to finish the boat on the 20.th of june
If you want to send me some helpful info/ offsets/file, please do this here; gelubotezan@gmail.com
Thanks
