In Response To: Skin-on-Frame: SOF versions of Guillemot designs? (Andrew Sommer)

One of the stitch and glue designs would be a no-brainer for a SOF build.

Other designs would be more difficult, but not out of the question with multiple chines (if you want to stay as close as possible to the original hull shape) or just through simplifying the hull shape with a single chine (although that will change the performance characteristics to some degree).

: Has anyone ever built a Skin on Frame version of a Guillemot design? I'm
: thinking of getting the plans for one of the designs and modifying it via
: the YOST method to a wood frame SOF. Main reason is cost, time and weight.
: I can't think of a reason why it wouldnt work especially on the simpler
: AUK designs
