Help with Spindrift 10 plans

[William]

Greetings from South Africa!

 

I acquired plans for a Spindrift 10 (#989) - one-piece, not nested - in Dec last year and I am very excited about the building that lies ahead. This will also be my first venture into anything with a sail on it.

 

For the sake of consistency, I have copied and pasted an email (see below) that I sent to Carla soon after receiving my plans. She promised to get back to me as soon as Graham got back from Australia later that month. Early in January I sent a follow up email but have not had any reply. If anyone can shed some light on the queries below it would be a good start:

(Note: the plans are in metric units)

Dear Carla,

I have received the plans a few days ago, thank you very much!

 

I have been going forwards and backwards through the plans a good deal, familiarizing myself with the parts and processes. I cannot however find
any details or templates for the following parts:

 

foredeck

aft bulkhead

temporary center frame

center bulkhead

outboard pad

tansom stiffener.

 

In the construction guide text, reference is made to the following drawing sheets which I do not seem to have received:

Transom, Boom Detail, Mainsheet Detail

Hull Construction plan

 

Sheet #1 seems to be missing two dimensions:

On the side panel, at station 1.5m, the word "BULKHEAD" is double printed over the vertical diminsion to the lower edge. I drew it on my CAD
program and 0.337m gives a a smooth curve)

 

On the bottom panel, the horizontal dimension to the very foremost tip (it seems a good deal less than the 0.1m spacing of the preceding stations).
On my CAD drawing, a value of 0.052 gives the smoothest curve fit, while 0.062 gives a better edge-to-edge fit for the butterfly butt-join.

 

Regards,

William"

Send them another email, if there's something missing they will make it right.

Hi William,

 

I am certainly back, I have not seen your email. Shoot it to me and you will get a reply.

 

You must have slipped through the cracks.
