: I built The Great Auk and rounded off the front and rear deck. I took the
: original three triangular deck points and rounded them off more or less by
: eyeball. I also installed the Gullimont cockpit design. I put the rear of
: the cockpit about 15 inches behind the center of boyancy but wish I had
: placed it 17 or 18 inches as I have some weather helm.

I am in the process of doing the same thing with my great auk and would love to see some pics of what it will look like. Could you possibly post a couple of pics shot from different angles. I'm sure it would help inspire me to complete this project
