Hello Harvey

This looks interesting!….Any further info?

Could I suggest that a top guide bar similar to the keel, will help to align the ribs?

Is this a static model.

How how Spooky is that, I am currently to looking at that plan but thinking of sizing it up by 10-20% as looks a bit to small for me.

See this post from J.Pottinger

Not sure if you have notieced yet but when the CAD/CAM maestro was transposing my original to the usual MB format he somehow managed an error in drawing the hull sections forward, making them less wide and rounded. If you measure the width on RH side of the body plan at sect 5 it is narrower than same section on LH side!

Just checked and it is.

hi larry

i had found that post you mentioned but to be honnest i meant nothing to me apart from something on the plan was wrong. witch view is the body plan and is it only sect 5 thats wrong or 5 to 10 all the way ?. but thanks for pointing it out.

i'm pleased that your thinking of building this boat, is yours going to be a static or working vessel.

it could also be usefull to me if you could post the various steps you undergo with as many photos as poss from many differant angels so i can work out how to do mine, as finding this info is not easy.

i have seen the feature on this site and learnt alot but not everything i need.

thanks in advance

It will be a working vessel, But when I do build it I might scale it up fractionaly as although I don't want it to big, I don't want it to small either. I will post pictures when I build it, but as my Forum name suggests it may not be this year..
