Default First boat:

You lucky dog....free epoxy!

Ensuring you have no twist can be tricky. If you have at least 2
frames/bulkheads, here's a trick I like to use in my plans:

Once you have things stitched together, assumming you're doing stitch
and glue, tape a string from bow to stern. Mark a spot dead-center on
each frame/bulkhead. The string and points on the frames/bulkheads
should all align.

Hope that helps!

Hi Matt I did design the hull it is an shallow V included angle of

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.(
