hi i am from the uk and although we mainley use metric measurements we do understand imperial (feet and inches) i am trying to build nicks guillemot double. i have lofted the points from the book the strip built sea kayak. i did find the table very difficult to understand as some dimensions were a-b axis and others b-a axis this made it very time consuming and now i have come to assemble the forms on the strongback some of my forms seem wrongand the bow and stern form dont seem to work at all. does it work or am i stupid? i may be as well burning all my forms and purchasing some full size plans from him directly.
