Kayak #4 has two shapes that makes building a 
challenge. The sharp bow and stern bottom in combination with the flattish middle section requires a twist of the strips along the keelsection. At the same time sidestrips need to be bent sideways to carry down a the curvature of the shear down towards the keel.
challenge. The sharp bow and stern bottom in combination with the flattish middle section requires a twist of the strips along the keelsection. At the same time sidestrips need to be bent sideways to carry down a the curvature of the shear down towards the keel. The first mentioned shape causes the middle section of the keel to be pushed up and away from 
the form. Perhaps the problem would not have been there with stapled strips? Alternatively the strips could have been layed out differently? I do have a plan however - the keel section is still not fixed to the bow, so I can extend it forwards and push it back down and out. What may be interesting is to see the technique to keep strips aligned without staples, and to have them pressed together. All the complex forces cannot be fixed at this stage by stapling. The forces would only lift the staples up and out as they did in my attempt to fix the hoovering keelsection.
