: The Dyson should make a nice stripper. For my Dyson "double"
: stripper,
: I transferred the "offset" points from the Dyson drawings to poster
: board,
: pinned each stringer offset point, wrapped a nylon R/C pushrod around the
: curve, and traced a new line. This created a rounded shape vs the original
: multi-chine shape.

: The Nikumi and the lower displacement Nikumi 19 baidarka's can also be strip
: built. The "woodstrip" offsets reflect a rounded shape with
: 12" station
: spacing.

Thanks for the link Tom. I am pondering at the moment. I have the North Star with its rounded hull. I was considering leaving the chines in. Just for the variety. Whatever I do I'll post the result.

All the best
