A nice thing about that design is that the centerboard is way forward, where it doesn't get in the way so much. Instead of adding frames to make up for the...

Hi folks, OK,on the plans it calls for building the boat upside down. No problem with that; done it before. But the base line is BELOW the boat on the plans....
There are many lines to establish when first laying out a boat to build. Of course the base line measured from a reliable place like the level mold, or the...
Craig Please refresh my mind as to which boat you are building. Maybe I can help a little. They are Two different things. The "Base Line" on the Offsets is...
