Hi, I’m building one of Rob Mack’s baidarkas and I was wondering if anyone here has experience of building one. Specifically I’m building the Dark Star, a shorter version of the Shooting Star. One point I’d like some feedback on is the shape of the deck between stations 4,5,6 when they are all at their planned positions. While putting some test strips on the forms, there’s a distinct tight bend at station 5 at the sheer line, and an inward pinch between 5 & 6. Moving station 5 aft by an inch or so fixes that, but of course Rob would understandably prefer me to keep to the planned station positions. Everything has been double/triple checked, but of course theres always room for a mistake. Any thoughts?
Pete
