: I recommend Ulf Johansson's blog. He is working on a new boat right now with
: cutaways, and if you go back through his older pages, you will see another
: build from last year which also has cutaways. Make sure to click on each
: post, as there are typically extra pictures inside the post.

: I am still considering cutaways myself. My hull is finished and I haven't
: started on the deck. If I cutaway, it will be similar to Ulf's cutaway on
: the deck, but I may think about whether I should (or even can) cutaway any
: of the side of the hull. Just want to make sure the cutaway doesn't go
: below the waterline obviously. On my Kirton K1, the bottom edge of the
: cutaways go within 1 or 2" from the waterline.

Thanks Eic. Looks pretty straight forward if kept above the sheer line. Like you, I actually want to reduce the beam at the catch so will probably have to go below the shher. I can see from the image that cutting after the huul deck are finished would be the way to go rather than fiddle with station forms.
cheers
