I was very surprised when I tilted the haul sideways to let sawdust fall off of the strong back and the haul came off in my hands. I was going to fasten it down with screws on the shear strips but I was still running through my head how I was going to fair both the haul and deck together for a nice match before I did any fiberglassing at all. I'm not sure I am going at this right. Anyway, while the haul is off of the forms you can see on the three forms in the fore front and how I had to build up the three sections in 1/4" tapered strips so the boat seemed better faired. This was the self designed plans I came up with on the BearBack design program and It may have not have been the best design for a strip built. It looks pretty ugly inside the haul. I appreciate all of the help from this board to build this kayak to this point since this is the only information I have had in doing this project. Thanks,

John
