Hi Dave

: and more rocker, and vice versa. You absolutely do need several temporary
: stations along the length of the kayak to ensure the shape ends up as the
: designer intended.

I totally agree. I suppose it depends on the degree of torturedness but for my design I started out with 7(!) stations and found that I needed 1 more both for hull and deck, simply by comparing the dimensions with the plan. I make my stations out of the same plywod as the rest and wire them in. It makes a big difference in stiffness of the structure and helps reassure me that the structure (symmetry) is implemented as designed.
