Andy,

The answer to both your questions is yes. By that I mean you want to draw the body plan from the lines you've already faired while checking the table of offsets as well. The goal is to end...

Season's Greetings and Merry Christmas to all.
I just sat down to read the latest issue of WoodenBoat only to discover that pages 17-32 are bound in upside down (and therefore in reverse order) in...
