Has anyone here built a wood duck completely strip built? &nbsp;The plans don't show forms for the hull portion that I can see on the web site. &nbsp;Would there be sufficient info on the plan sheet to fabricate those needed forms?

The plan would not include ofsets to make forms. &nbsp;What you could do is fabricate pannels of strips, then cut out the panels and stitch together the way the ply does. &nbsp;Someone may need to weigh in on how flexible the strip pannels are. &nbsp;I do not know if they would take the bend. &nbsp;You could probably make the hull and then create your own lines for the deck. Eyeball forms and then strip the deck the traditional way.

I have a chesapeak lt 16 built from the kit. &nbsp;I am considering using the existing kayak as a form. covering the deck with plastic and building a strip deck right over it. &nbsp;Then cutting out the old deck and attaching the strip one. &nbsp;

Love the look of stripers.

PS: building a petrel now from strips.

Don't think the strips cut as a panel could take the bending, but that's an idea. &nbsp;just hoping someone else might have already gone thru this. &nbsp;Getting a strong back lined up would also be a trick.
