: After getting the lines at my computer, I noticed the section where
: my legs are is about 8 " high, while my leg is 10 "...
: What do you think? When I try to stretch the lines even with 2
: ", the beauty of it’s silhouette is decreasing…
: how do u resolve this problem?

We went thru this recently on the Greenland forum, the boats in Harvey's book are designed for people much smaller than the average people today. Unless you're around 5' tall and weigh around 140 lbs. the boats are going to be way too small for you. You need to scale the whole design larger to keep the proportions correct. Might want to look at the cockpit size too, looks tiny and flat.
