: That is a lovely boat Les.

: G. New if you are concerned about the performance of a Guillemot
: scaled down to 16' you could just buy Nick's plans for the 16'
: Guillemot S.

: ric

G, Rick, I did consider building Nick's Guillemot S, but I have two sons who also want to use the boat and although I only weigh 165lb, they are both about the 210lb mark and although it is 6" shorter than the G.S I figured (I could be wrong!) that scaling as I did retained more midships space and bouyancy than I would have had in a G.S. I'd be interested to hear other people's thoughts on this

Regards Les Cheeseman

BTW. Is there anyone in the South of England into strip building?
