: I can't remember any one problem building the G17 but sometimes you can't see
: were you went wrong but with your best strips on each side of the forms,
: your eye and tape, I would make it fair. In the old style of building
: before CAD, boats and planes were lofted full size by wood battens by eye
: to fix bad spots. Fair is right, kayaks are so long and thin in the water
: if you keep it fair and straight it is hard to go wrong. Don

I still do it the old fashioned way with fairing battens, always have, works fine.
