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

: 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

: Andy

Well one problem is you're turing a round bottom design into a hard chine design. Better off looking at hard chine designs to start with. Event then, on the water, the boat won't be exactly as designed since the fabric tends to bend in a bit between the chines. Still, it's closer to the orriginal design than starting with a round bottom one.
