Hi John and Nick

Thanks, I actually found Bjorn's site this morning. Very nice boats, although I think something to consider a couple years down the road. Nick, good to hear I can scale up IO. I am used to stations and offsets so with only actual patterns for the parts, I was unsure of the best approach. i am a bit leery with the increased displacement, as the boat may end up being a bit too buoyant and tossed around in wind too much, so perhaps the best approach would be to scale up length only, and then build a model to see how she fits. Thank you for providing this nice kids design and thanks to everyone for your helpful insights.

Regards,

Moonman.
