Camber: I think he is talking about the top of the motorwell bulkhead. The dimension is there but I can´t tell you where before Monday: I am not at the office.<BR>For the bottom camber: we show it if necessary.<BR>I remember discussing this on the old message board. Try a search.<BR>For the sole, it...

Could it be that you measure from a plywood sheet that is not standard size?<BR>As we say in the BOM, we use standard 122 x 244 cm plywood sheets. I know that some plywood sheets in Europe are 255 cm long.<BR>Check that please.<BR>If that´s the case, draw a line at 244 cm, where we show the edge of ...

You will have to wait for the plans to be posted at the web site, probably next week.<BR>It will not be a difficult boat but because of all that sail area, the C12 will be much easier.<BR>You could always learn with only the main sail and maybe a reef.<BR>More next week.

This is how we calculate for our kits, BOM and weights:<BR>for each boat, during the design, we must calculate weigths, areas etc. anyway.<BR>That data, extracted from CAD, is in a spreadsheet.<BR>That spreadsheet is quite elaborate: at least 6 pages for a small boat!<BR>We calculate how much resin ...

Who said that plagiarism is the highest form of flattery?<BR>Anyway, since I myself took the idea of the PK78 from a French design, I should not complain.<BR>Ten years ago, I saw pictures of a very nice little pram in a French magazine and jumped at the computer to sketch the thing in Prolines. It b...

OK, I see it now.<BR>As designed, the stringers fit in notches in the clamping board.<BR>That means in the two layers inside, not the last transom layer. <BR>This is a method we used for years but it is a little more difficult to assemble than with stringers flush with the clamping board. <BR>To mak...
