: Awhile back, I inserted all Petrel's offsets from the book into Rhino 4 and
: came up with a point cloud, but linking all the points together formed
: VERY unfair curves and surfaces at best. Very disappointing. Probably due
: to the author using a very low resolution of 1/16", but most likely
: due to blatant, erroneous information. Form 2 is WAY out of true and
: verticle position, as are most of the other station forms. This could only
: be the work of some mischevious nut trying to make another buck on yet
: another a book with tainted data. Why even give offsets if you don't
: intend to give the correct data?!? Making bucks = good!, Purposely tainted
: figures = BAD!

Good enough endorsement for me! I'm ordering the book. The other book I bought had a few typo's as does the post above. Yet, it was a great read and enabled me to built a Guillemot and a modified Great Auk. If you want to demand perfection, start with your own work. Once you are perfect, only then can you demand it of others.
To Nick,
Thanks for all the time and effort you put into this board, kayak building, and writing your instruction manuals. All have been a great help to me and I want you to know I appreciate your efforts.
