In Response To: g-expedition=same cross section as g? (craig appleyard)

The cross-section of the Guillemot and Expedition Single are very much the same at the cockpit. I have had people with huge feet say they were comfortable in the Expedition Single, but then again I have had people with normal sized feet complain about lack of space.

Stretching out the form spacing would largely reproduce the Expedition Single, but there are some hull shape differences near the ends.

Change the cross section of deck, not hull
