I've decided to make the plans for my Stitch & Glue Guillemot available to internet users as "share ware". If you end up building this boat please send me a photograph of the results.

If you don't want to deal with lofting from the offsets, I have full sized drawings available.

You can read my experiences making this kayak in the journal I tried to keep as I built it. For now the journal will have to

Nick
Thought you might like to take a look at the progress of the cambered deck.
(hope you are not offended by my alterations to your plans). I am pleased
with the result, however I had always planned to paint the hull, but now
wish I had used a better grade ply on the hull and taken a bit more care
with the scarf so that it could be varnished.
I am now inspired enough to do a stripper (have ordered your book). The wife
can paddle this one.

Hi Nick,

Here are the pics - I took a lot through the whole process - I have much
higher resolution versions if you are interested, I didn't want to bomb your
mailbox with huge files.

In the pictures, I'm paddling at Joe's Valley reservoir. Nice place I just discovered in central Utah. I plan to paddle down Labyrinth and/or Stillwater Canyon later this summer. There are quite a few places around the state I'm looking at, maybe a multi-day tour of the islands of the Great Salt Lake....
