: Hi everyone,

: I'm working on stitching up my Hybrid Night Heron with mixed success. There
: are several glaring issues I was hoping you all could shed some light on.

: First, the side panels near the middle of the boat come up considerably
: higher than they should on the form. Any reason why? Does the form need to
: be moved around? If so, I think it would need to be moved a LOT.

Without having the proper dimmensions from the plans you're kinda stuck. I wouldn't go much further until the plans show up. S&G requires careful measurments for it to work, the bulkheads have to be in the correct position for the shape to be anywhere near correct.
