Hi Matt I did design the hull it is an shallow V included angle of 150* the
rear end gave me no problems but the front was a difficult task as the boat
has no rocker.
I ,m fortunate in that my son is a lab tech and works for a coating
manufactuer so I get a lot of free samples of epoxy and fairing compounds .
They make epoxy and fairing material for an large company in Toronto Can.(

I am building my first boat its just a small experimental kayak. I,m
surprised at how accurate you have to be as one small error on one side
affects the other side and vice versa. I now see the real value of an

jig or
mold or strong back in keeping everything aligned and square. This is a

real
learning experience for me. I,ve no idea if the darn thing will even

float.
