Hi Doug,
Good to see the boat has recovered well from its modification. Amazing difference the varnish makes.
I think when you hit the water it will be different from how it was before. It certainly looks quite different from your posts earlier before you pushed the width out.
For those that haven't been following the full thread; the plans for this 15'6 boat used two temporary spreaders to hold the ply panels at the right widths while the boat is stitched and glass taped. It worked fine for the smaller boat (13ft). But it did produce highly variable final widths with the longer boat.
Stitch and glue never gives an exact repeatable hullshape - as the plywood will take the bend quite differently from boat to boat. But less variation is certainly better.
Below I have attached the revised drawing that shows the set up of the three temporary spreaders that define the shape of the boat while it is being built. I have moved the end spreaders slightly and there is a new middle spreader.
Best Regards
Michael Storer.
