In Response To: Re: He has a point there (Nick Schade - Guillemot Kayaks)

I've just finished drawing out the plans for the Guillemot in AutoCAD and would like to correct the endform alignment before I plot the drawings. Should I make the end forms match the sections at the bevel and keep the same amount of bevel? Or would I be better off to just ignore it and adjust when I make the forms?

Also, I will be scaling the plans to allow for my size 12 feet, and am not sure if I should scale the entire forms by 5% or just add 1/2" or so to the deck height in the cockpit area.

Thanks in advance, Richard
: You can plane down the extra on the endform which sticks above the section
: form. I believe it is do to the technique I used for generating the
: endform. If you leave it there, the boat will still work fine.
