Strip: Forms from Scratch
By:John Boeschen
Date: 4/23/2002, 4:56 pm

I stitched-and-glued a Pygmy Arctic Tern 14 a year ago. I love the boat, I love having built it myself. Now I'd like to build a strip boat (having never done one before). In particular, I'd like to duplicate a touring kevlar boat I own and have paddled for a couple years. My question: how best to create the forms from scratch (without dissembling the original kayak) and then line them up accurately on the stronghold. -- Thanks, John
