: Moulded veneer / cold moulding was the basis for this construction.
: With epoxy used as the glue, the lamination, and the coatings,
: it's a pretty solid composite.

: Possibly, or a horizontal first layer as I've done with a mostly
: diaginal second layer if the stripper
: were a single chine design with it's flat panel surfaces. Though
: that would appear to be lots more work.
: I've got offsets (12" centers) drawn up for two Greenland
: single chine strippers.

: Here's a strip single chine Sea Rider built by Tony Olsen. I wonder
: how it would look with a diagonal second layer of strips .
: Think of all the unique patterns that could be applied since you
: have a solid first layer to attach to. Hmmm ?
: I had considered this as inlay on the Sea Bee deck, but liked the
: look of the redwood as is, and passed on the idea.

: My arch enemy .... laziness ... was a contributing factor also :)

Tom,
It occurred to me that there was a lot of possible ways to strip that one too, but being in a hurry, I went as simple as I could without fitting cheater strips or anything crazy. (did that on the modified Great Auk) This kayak took 8 weeks from first strip to finish. To save weight, I didn't fill coat the glass, left it a bit rough thinking it might break up the laminar flow and reduce drag a bit. After paddling it, I don't know if the drag was reduce or not. It is skinny, light and fast. Tips the scale at 27 pounds. being 6 feet tall, and 200#, it does sit a bit low in the water with me in it. If I built it again, I think I would stretch it 12 to 18 inches longer for my size. Seems to fit Kurt pretty well. (in your photos)
Anyway, here is a link to the build: http://www.flickr.com/photos/tonyolsen/sets/72057594055251040/ and here is one to me in it. http://www.flickr.com/photos/tonyolsen/219530693/in/set-72157594242984302
