In Response To: Guillemot end forms (Don B.)

: Does anyone have any digital photos illustrating how the deck comes together
: at the bow / stern end forms that could be posted or emailed to me? I am
: having a tough time picturing how it should look. I have never seen this
: kayak in person before so any examples would be greatly appreciated.

I don't have any pictures of the forms prior to stripping, This is the best I had for the transition from deck to hull. On the Guillemot it is not an abrupt transition, more of a continuous flowing shape. While stripping the deck I found it helpful to work both from the shear line up and from the center line down.

Hope this helps.
