Is there any problems in streching or shortening the Gaboats?
I was thinking od building a 8 - 10% shorter version of the Westport Dinghy 8.
Yes, I know its already very small, but still to long for me and its future
mothership.....
Shortening the boat is fine. Just space the forms and ribs closer together.
Performance and capacity will be affected, but this doesn't seem to be your
concern.
I've lengthened the Snow Shoe 14 and Nimrod with good success.
