> Brian--Any ideas on how it got 2 inches off center?

I had trouble spotting down the center of the boat with the lack of room in the apartment. I built the boat upside down, not recomended by CLC, but it was resting square on the sheerclamps. The one thing that I really learned about building a stich & glue is trust my eyes more than a measuring stick. I always looked off to me it wasn't until I put in the stock deckbeams that I saw the the center of the sheerclamp level and the keel of the boat were not lined up.

The stock plans have a small transom on it, so unlike other stitch & glue designs the alignment at the rear is a little tricker, the bow came out great.

When I build the outriggers I going to fasten the bulkheads to a jig first and then fasten the panels to then with a guide as to where the bow and stern should wind up. There's an episode of the New Yankee Workshop where Norm builds a boat stich & glue fashion but with a jig. I notice the Pygmy boat use temporary bulkheads in the building process.

I'd still recomend the kit to people, as a matter of fact if I really get into the sprint racing down here I'll build another one lightwieght style, no bulkheads.
