Hi
I want to make a Cormorant 16 using sheets of 2500x1220 gaboon ply.
According to my calculations the hull side panels are of the Cormorant are 4974mm long (195 7/8" -1/32").
But after I scarf the gaboon ply I will end up with a max. lenght of 4968mm (4mm ply, 32mm scarf).
Is this correct, if so I think the best thing to do will be to shorten the plans by about 10mm.
To shorten the plans I intend to just decrease the distance between each station on the offset tables by 10mm.
Will this be OK.
TIA
Jon
