hi George,  i am curious to see what you find out here.  i have the plans for a cheasapeake 17 i want to strip-plank.  my thought was to buy some lauan plywood and go through the motions of making the kayak until i feel i can use all the info from the plans and make as many bulkheads/cross-sections and then create the forms in the proper location.  then i would basically start over on the build.  i can't wait to hear what others have to say.

I'd be interested in a stripped planked chease 17 but I don't want to go through the motions of making my own forms. Maybe after I get my first kayak built so I am still not constantly iching to get out on the water. Striped planked boats are truly a work of art.
