Designing kayaks from scratch

The Ruby kayak

Williamson Boat Design in Anacortes, Washington, uses Rhino to design and build kayaks from scratch.

Warren Williamson says that after he has the parts cut on a CNC machine, "The kayaks go together like a Swiss watch."

We have a little art on the water.
