: So I am going to start building a gp using the holst instructions
: and am wondering about the overall length. I took the
: measurement of one full arms length plus the length from elbow
: to wrist and came up with 80". Then I did the from the
: floor to the tip of my fingers held above my head and came up
: with 87". Question is which measure to go by? Or maybe
: somewhere in between? Any thoughts would be great. I wil be
: using a guillemot so boat is 21" wide.
