Thanks to everyone that has given me advice on Theresa and My North Star Fairing problums. What we are going to do is to use what we can from Rob Macks plans of his interpretation of the classic Badarka lines. Last night I drew his whole number stations out as per his distance from the baseline numbers, but at the same time keeping forms true to the center line. This time I used french curves to aline the sheer line in a smooth arc from bow to stern. Now we have whole number stations that aline, or at least the hull! My dilemma is now the deck fairness, and creation of the stations between the whole number stations, that are 20" or so apart from each other. Rob's original deck lines climb and fall two times from cock pit to the nose of the boat.

Questions (HELP!)

1/ Deck fairness cock pit to nose (bow). Do I just make a progresion of line nice and smooth equaly spaced, or do I stager the spacing close together at the cockpit and further apart as I move forward. Whats a good way to do this?

2/ With 20" + spaces between stations, and building the boat from 1/4 thick strips do I need stations between?

3/ If so any sugestions on a good way to draw in these forms? Or do I just draw line half way between and far them on the srong back? But I think that that is no differant then what Rob wants me to do with his plans, but instead of being able to see this problum with unfair sheer lines on papper, it will appear with my first sheer line strip stapled to our forms?

4/ I found info on a guy name George Dyson (206)734-9226, who has badarka plans,I think? But his phone always seams to be busy. Any one know his boat? Are his plans good? And how do you get ahold of the man?

Thanks again in advance,

Cheers: Brian & Theresa.
