: Generally you strip down from the sheer towards the keel (actually
: up to the keel since the boat is upside down), so if you were to
: use keel strips they fill in the football shape that's left when
: you decide to work up from the keel. Where they end is where the
: strips from the sides stop.

Bill, I have stripped the kayak up and over the chine. I am trying to figure out where I actually start along the keel to place the keels strips down the length of the kayak. I am guessing where pass the DWL or around station 3? This is my first kayak build....
