All measurements are in inches. The
end points of the plotted lines
are joined by a straight line.
This shows how the measurements are
used to lay out the panels. X and Y are the bottom line of the panel and
X2 and Y2 are the top line. All points are from the edge of the ply or a
baseline. Any points which are N/A are not plotted. They may just be not
on the panel or are not important to that line. The two end points are
closed with a straight line.
For information on Stitch and Glue, please check the construction of
fisher10. The hull was done entirely with stitch and glue, except for the
transom/side panel joint, which was first attached with screws and then
filleted on the inside and taped on the outside. There are also many good
sites with Stitch and glue information.
www.bateau.com has an excellent primer on the subject, so do most of
the other major plans dealers, such as Glenn-L and Clark Craft.
