: Thanks! Indeed that is where it ends for the moment. The instructions called

: After some thought I may have been able to continue on the bow and had

: kayak I decided against it as I didn't want to get myself into a jam. As
: far as the stern goes I don't see how it could continue due to the curves
: and tapers.

since there are major changes there, I retract my question - you have a reason

:what boat did you build with the regrets to doing it that way?

Im doing a shortish play yak w/ sacrificial ends. My major mistake(I retract - on of the 1000 of major mistakes) was to stop the stripping short at this location just where the curvatures are greatest. this left a lessening of curvature just where I wanted it the greatest. I should have just extended the strips, made that end, and then cut it off later. Then I would have had a perfect matched end if I wanted one( or replace it w/ a scumbag one for jerking around), but at least more continuous curving curvature.

like you say, next one. but pass the arsenic.
