In Response To: Help with offset chart (Peter)

Hey Peter,

I have just been plotting the offsets as well. Took me a bit to get orientated .

What helped me was to make an enlarged photocopy of the table so that I could keep track of where I was. After consulting the figure 4-2 in Nick's book I marked up my table with arrows indicating the direction that I had to measure in so I could concentrate in the actual numbers.

There are a couple of small errors in the offset table. For the corrections follow this link: http://www.guillemot-kayaks.com/Book/Erratta.html

Enjoy your building.

Hank
