I'm building a spindrift 11n. The plans say use gudgeon/pintle from Racelite RL358, RL358l, RL358s, and spring RLl337. The pintle opening is only 3/4". Clearly the wrong part. The "spring" is not a spring at all. What are the correct part numbers? Also the gooseneck shown has a curved base plate. The specified part, RL328 has a flat base plate. Doesn't work very well on a round mast. It seems that many of these boats have been built, so why are there still so many errors in the plans and specs?

we've laid out on paper our spindrift 11 plans - and have decided the boat is bigger than we thought it would be - is it possible to reduce the size by adjusting all measurements by say 10% to get a slightly smaller boat? thanks

we just bought plans for the spendrift 11n. how much flotation would be appropriate? is it possible to make it "unsinkable"? thanks.
