......... I'd like to build a full-strip for my next
: kayak. ................
..... fairly hard chines
Welcome to the forum! It's nice to have another person with that 'too many kayaks already, and I'm not quitting yet!" attitude.
;-)

If you want hard chines, a strip build will be a bit difficult - especially if you want to use a clear finish over the wood.

I can't recommend a design, but you should check out Dan Caouette's techniques for building hard-chine boats like the Black Pearl using strip construction, if you decide to go that route.
