I'm always harping on small paddled craft being task specific. Below are the front half of forms for 4 different boats designed for different tasks. I thought it would be interesting to see the difference in them.
On the top left is a fishing boat. Top right an Outer Island sea kayak. Bottom left is the sitin/sot. Bottom right is a 22" wide marathon boat.

Re: Forms for 4 different boats
No. Strider's boats are S&G. His widest is 4" narrower than the one you see in the picture. The top and bottom left are the next two projects. The work I put into forms takes a while but they will last for many boats.Light Keeper's Kid wrote: is the top left striders
