: Hello All,
: I am toying with the idea of building a Point Bennet but with a
: strip deck. I've build an Outer Island and a Guillemot, but
: those forms are are already a part of the plans. It seems for
: this type of boat (a hybrid) you would have to make your own
: forms for the deck, but how is this done? I don't have access to
: any fancy CAD/CAM design software nor am I going to buy any, so
: is there an alternate method?
: Thanks,
: Dave

Dave:

What a timely question. I just cut the deck off my Point Bennett and am in the process of replacing with a strip. I simply made up deck forms as I went along - by eyeballing how they looked and going with what looked nice.

Have a look at my last few blog entries:
