Forms for 4 different boats

[gerald]

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.

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.
