Re: Other: guillemot cockpit offsets for kneebrace

: I'm not sure where I saw the idea, but I remember seeing the cockpit
: cutout/offsets/design of the guillemot altered for the installation of
: knee braces. Can anyone out there give me the offsets, or even a good idea
: of where to leave the strips long to attach the knee braces? Any and all
: help would be appreciated.

: Thanks in advance.
If I where to do it again I would steam the recess strips to make the hooks. We added curved striped knee hooks after the GU17 was finished. The are stripped fore and aft and had to put a good sized fillet on yhe top due to the fact the hook needed to be at the same plane as the recess strips. Ah the next kayak.
