How to build a wood kayak using Rhino and Grasshopper

In this video, Brian Ottrogge of the Grunblau Design Studio shows his techniques to build a kayak by building a scale model.

Nothing in either the “teaser trailer” or main video about the use of Rhino and Grasshopper beyond mention that the kayak was designed on a computer.

The hull appears to be a conventional single chine stitch & glue hull. The deck build uses an interesting technique which I have not see before.

Ottrogge is known to be a Rhino user (or at least he was). He used to publish a couple of YouTube videos about Rhino and Grasshopper years ago, even before it was popular really.
I agree though, the video doesn’t show Rhino in any way, and the link leads to the Grunblau channel, not even the advertised content. Shout out to Brian! :wink:
