Jim:
For your 95% length boat, you may well have reduced the length of the end forms - the bow and stern profile/stem forms- to keep the lines fair. If you depended on a photocopier to do the reduction (95% in both dimensions) some corrections may have been made to make things match up at the #1 cross-section form, for example.
So that's another detail to consider. The amount of correction would have been small anyway.
I'm sure Jay will provide you with the beam measurements you need to check your forms, if somebody else doesn't step in with that data.
