I've downloaded several different cad programs and can see the plans but I don't think I have all of it. Are there stations included in the drawings? I really like the look of this boat but before I try the strip build, I would really like to build the S and G model. Can I use the stations from those plans on the S and G? Do you have any other suggestions. I'm hoping to start my buld by the end of the month so I can take it to Florida in September. Thanks, Dave I’m having a hard time with the formating.

It seems like the first reports are coming in on the builder forum and this sea kayak sounds like it paddles as well as the cedar strip version. I think you'll like it when you build it. Thanks.

I should get it built by 2018...gotta give her some personal time inbetween projects. Great design, love the lines. I can see that it will move very nicely through the rough stuff.

I need to install a plotter driver. I found http://www.doublecad.com/ which is free. It will allow you to import the dxf and print it. You may need to scale everything by 12 to get to feet. Double CAD should allow you to print the file directly to your plotter. James, I couldn’t get the pdf to print correctly, because the paper size is too long. I need to install a plotter driver.

The shortest strake, which is the one in the center, measures 15 feet, 3 13/16 inches. As long as the scale turns out right, you should be able to print them out. I can turn the file into a PDF if that helps. What's the widest you can print? DXF is tricky, so I’m not sure if 100:1 will work exactly right because I’m not sure what viewer you’re using.

If I print the DXF at 100:1 will that allow me to spray-glue them down to MDF and have full scale patterns? Thanks. James Brian,

I'm a professional boat builder (fiberglass, ranging between 64-151ft) and have been dying to get into plywood boat construction. All of the free plans I've found have been very ugly and I'm really happy to see the amount of effort you've put into this. I'm going to begin construction within the next week or two and take detailed pictures and notes for you. Thanks again! James Lyon, Anacortes, WA Brian,
