Skin-on-Frame: Adding upswept bow & stern on a yost kayak?

Hello All,

I about to start framing the Sea Rider I have in progress. (Aluminum Frame, Plywood cross sections, Non Folding).

Since the Gunwales, etc are aluminum tubing - I was thinking I could try an upswept bow and stern? Would there be any significant impact on the performance of the kayak - ie more weather cocking, etc? Any bending or pvc skinning tips for an upswept bow & stern?

Thanks!,

Bob
