Anyone have a feel for what stage of design these drawings represent? The one on sailboatdata.com is the only drawing of my boat model that I've found. I've copied it into a multi-layer drawing file and spent hours doodling projects and potential projects over the original. Trying to document what I've done and figuring out what's feasible and what's not.
But when I try to get accurate, I find lots of discrepancies between the drawing and the boat. A bulkhead is eight inches over. Curved lines were built straight. The winch platform is eighteen inches farther aft, etc. In fact, the horizontal and vertical scales don't quite match. One almost needs to get out some measuring equipment and make an "as built" layer over everything. I'd rather go sailing.
Partly a whine, partly curiosity. I wonder if this reflects things that got "improved" while building the molds? Or were these some sort of preliminary sketch, before the detailed construction drawings were made?
