Hi,
I'm beginning to draft out and loft the offsets for the Petrel following the offset chart in Nick's 'Building Strip-Planked Boats'. My issue is that the curves do not appear to be smooth and also do not match the 'Section Drawing' which accompanies the chart. I'm drafting them in autoCAD so i'm sure that the error isn't in my drafting? Has anyone else noticed a problem with this offset chart?
Thanks,
Damian
I can’t help you but I would also post on Guillemot Kayaks Forum at http://www.kayakforum.com/ it is geared towards strip built kayaks. Good luck
Damian, go to Nick's website, building strip planked boats.com He has corrections listed for his lofting charts. It seems there were a few columns that got moved in the printing. There is a bullet for corrections on the opening page.
Good luck
Thanks a million! You’ve saved me hours of paddling in circles
