Hi Gang.  Been a while!

Long story short, life has kept me away and I've been unable to look at the lumber pile for a couple of years but am now doing the layout of the lower hull.

Once upon a time - someone had a very nice diagram showing "cleaned-up"measurements of the stern end of the hull @ Station 13, but now I can't find them.  It looks like all the Weekender FAQs have been removed from Messing-About forum as well. 

So, can anyone confirm:
Station 13 (5ft from the butt joint) - measurement is 16 & 5/8
Measure down 2 & 1/4 inches - corner of the hull edge is 16 & 1/8
Then the stern crosses 1 & 1/4 below that (total of 3.5 inches below Station 13).

Thanks!

Greetings Bruce,

That might have been me.

The long explanation ... http://home.comcast.net/~TomsWeekender/Station13.html

Old and new, side-by-side ... http://home.comcast.net/~TomsWeekender/plans1.html

Hope that helps.

I was just clicking on the pictures of the plans in that second plans1 link to make the different versions of the plans swap places so it is easy to see the differences, and it suddenly struck me that it appears that the original plans error was the omission of the /16ths from the 3 11/16" measurement.  So 3 11/16" became 3" (the " looks like a very small 11).  This would be a very easy to make error in copying over dimensions to a finished drawing.

Cheers,
Tom
