: Has anyone out there built a scaled down Outer Island? I really like the
: kayak but at 17'10" it's too long for me. I need a low volume
: version, maybe around 16 or even 16.5 feet.

: I know I've seen posts in the past about making smaller versions of boats but
: I don't remember how it's done. Jay? Any ideas on how to make a low volume
: verson of your beautiful boat?

1) If you want to maintain the width, just space the forms closer together.

2) If you want to reduce the beam and height, too, take the plans down to your local Kinkos and have them reproduce them at 90% or 95%, then space the forms to suit your needs. When I last checked, this cost ~$5 per sheet.
