In Response To: Strip: SOF to Strip (bill padin)

I like using a Delftship to model skin-on-frames. After you get it into Delftship and faired then it's easy to output full-sized station forms at any interval that you desire. I've done 16 of these now and released the drawings for free on my website. I built a kayak from one of the models and it worked great. One word of caution: If you're using historic SOF drawings be prepared for having to make a few interpretive choices. The drawings don't always line up right.

I'm attaching an example kayak that I modeled. This is the 1921 SW Greenland kayak from The Bark Canoes and Skin Boats of North America.
