I'm getting started lofting a Freedom 17 from the Canoecraft book, I understand that I need to subtract the strip thickness from the lofted dimensions. What about the stem forms? If the lofting dimensions represent the final profile of the bow and stern, it seems like I will have to subtract substantially more than the strip thickness because of the angle the strips come into the ends.
Do I just take a stab at and check fairness? I'm guessing that's what I have to do but thought I should check before I start cutting wood.
Stripperguy, I really wanted to build a Kite after watching your build, but I think I should do a tandem first so I can get my kids more involved. Maybe the next one.
Thanks.
