: Deck Buttocks at 8 inches on the 9th station is listed as 5.22 in the book
: and should be about 5.72" I believe. Deck buttocks at 9 inches on the
: 10th station is also in error... it should read 4.00 as this point is also
: defined in the table 4 inches above the waterline as 10.00 inches. The
: listed value of 4.27 inches is far from a fair curve.

I think the point at buttock 8 on station 9 should just be taken as defining
the "cut off" line for the breakaway part of the form. Note that 5.22
is also the height of the cockpit recess for that form. I simply did not connect that dot on the edge of the form, and it looks fine to me.

Ditto for station 10, I think.
