Hi, fellows After pondering all the advice from all and sundry, I've undone the underpowered OB jet purchase. Here's where I'm headed now....
Dave, The basic sharpie design is pretty forgiving, as long as you stay within the general rules recorded by Chapelle, and keep the curves fair...
I guess antiques practice antiquarianism?? I did build one boat in a more highly finished style, but couldn't take the angst when it touched...
Thanks, Kayaker I built it upside down over one middle mould, which was the centre frame extended and braced across the top. Attached the side...
