Full size drawing of the side

Halted the gusset making to complete a full size side drawing in the boat. It is a reference to see how the boat looks on paper, get angles for some special parts and just get a look at the "big picture".

After drawing a waterline (the designer bases all measurements off the waterline), I measured and located each frame position. Then I marked where the deck landed, the bottom of the sides and the keel.

I then took a long strip of wood called a batten and used it as a guide for my pencil to connect the dots together.



Drawing the deck line.



The bottom of the side.



Finally the keel line.

All this will help give me angles and a way of double checking against the actual boat, when I begin to put everything together.
