Hi Pete,

: How well did it sticth together?

Reasonably well!

I'm glad that this wasn't my first S&G. I now have the confindance that if the pannels don't stitch together too well I simply haul out the jig saw and go to town.

The main reason my pannels didn't fit perfectly, specifically at the bow and stern, was that there is lots of sweep here and my s/w doesn't run a cubic spline through the points and process say 1000 tiny panels as opposed to 10 large panels.

I'd be hesitant to give the offsets away at this point for this reason and I haven't talked to Nick about how he feels about this matter (I did use his copyright'ed data as a starting point).
