: Hi there,
: I'd like to build a nikumi but I have no space for a 17 feet in my
: garage. Is there an easy way to build it 16 feet (keeping the
: same offsets and 21 inches wide)?
: I have been thinking about building a normal bow instead that long
: bifid one for example... or/and reducing (-5%) the lenght
: between the cross sections.
: Otherwise I should change the boat and build something wider (the
: sea tour 15 exp maybe ?).

I'd suggest going to Tom Yost's website and find his Email and ask him. He's always been willing to modify the plans to suit.
