Most of the strength in a traditional kayak frame is in the gunwales and the deck beams, the gunwales need to be sized for that.

Bill H.

Agree entirely Bill. I was just pointing out that if he moves the ribs inboard of the gunnel to avoid cutting mortices, and then adds a clamp (inwale) inboard of the ribs, the gunnels - or outwales - will end up oversized.

- but I think the decision to walk the dog and think about it some more is smart . . .
