: Good advice. I just ordered the plans. I don't have the magazine with me now,
: But as I recall when I layed out the bilge panel, the curve was changing
: about 1/16" a couple of feet from the end and then suddenly went to
: 1/8" the next foot and then back to 1/16". When sighting down
: the line there is a "bump" at this change affecting the fairness
: of the curve. This may explain your chines being off.

I too had problems with getting fair curves on all panels. The biggest problem I had was with the bottom panel. I now wish that I had known to adjust the shape and trust the eye more than the offsets. But, no-one has ever noticed the bump except me. I had to layout the bulkheads from scratch also.
