Bill Hubbard Posted January 14, 2013 Report Share Posted January 14, 2013 Hi. My names Bill, and I first saw Jeff's work over on the Wooden Boat Forums. I bought and read the book, and decided to start with the FreeB as a learning exercise. I know it's unsupported by Jeff since the offsets free, but plotted out the points for the profile and wanted to get a sanity check, since I had a couple of flyers on the bow and stern plots, and it didn't appear the end s connected as end assemblies like the boats in the book. I want to be sure i understand the structure before I start ordering materials and cutting. Thanks, Bill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pat Mellema Posted January 15, 2013 Report Share Posted January 15, 2013 Bill That looks about right. I have one I am building ready to lash up. Right now it is held together with bungee cord. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill Hubbard Posted January 15, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 15, 2013 Thanks. I went ahead and ordered the kit for the 14foot last night. I figured that it was close, just wanted to get it right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kudzu Posted January 15, 2013 Report Share Posted January 15, 2013 I will say that it looks right to me. A single stray point is no big deal. Most times you end up not using all them anyway. You want a smooth curve and the numbers are rounded off so there will usually be a little variance anyway. I will try to find time to double check the numbers. Saw you order and will see if I can get it out today, if not it will go in tomorrows mail. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill Hubbard Posted January 15, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 15, 2013 Not a huge rush Jeff. I still need to get my plywood for the frames. On quick question if I may ask? Which stations do you recommend putting brackets on for mounting to the strongback? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
