I will be posting more phots of the frames tomorrow that will give you an idea how she will look. Mike | ||

Is it the same one that you show in the Pennnslvania cross section?, which by the way is outstanding. Also, I like how you calculated the futtock lines. Is there a special formula for that? How did you decide on the central axis/pivot point axis from which the futtock lines originated? I will want to try these methods on my Peacock. Thanks, Gary | ||

The futtock lines are on the drawing by Portia Takakjian and I just followed the drawing. I normally do not go into the design details. Somebody like daves could point you in the right direction he is very knowledgeable. Mike | ||

Frame 16 is the only frame glued to the keel at this time. I usually just glue the frames in and hope for the best but these frames would be rather difficult to take apart to fix or replace.      | ||
