They are dead on the money and, if you are careful, you should end up with exactly what you need. You could still use the nesting drawing to check yourself.
Good luck with your build. I saw the construction mgr, the first mate, the grunt, and the stowaway. I didn't see the captain. I guess she was shoe shopping or something? :)

So another riveting night of measuring but made some good head way. Just if someone could check this and make sure the head tilt isn't getting to me. I think I have all the 1/4" measured out, except the last piece which is the sole and the butt block. That leaves 5 pieces, all 4 for the front sections for the bottoms and sides are on a sheet, the middle and rear sections are doubled up to make the rest. In my small brain there is a bit of waste on the rear sections, one of the sheets is used to complete the sole, while the other is waste if I am not mistaken. If that is right, it could be my stringer savior, but I have to look ahead on where to get the transom knees from. Starting on the 3/8 tomorrow hopefully cutting by next week :help:. Also there is a bit of a life lesson here but I have gotten myself all wrapped around a spoke about the stringers, there is something to be said about just getting into it and figuring it out as you go, there are multiple ways to fix this and really isn't apparent till you look at the lines on the ply. Being reserved with a saw is wise but who cares about a pencil.
