yes, thanks to you too, Alan (Wheels). I was aware of the difference in the hull bottoms but thought if it was possible to change the bottom design. Now, this leaves me with a new problem. I wish to build a sailboat ( I didnt get the one at the Marina) but the [problem is that I cant even figure out the cut of the molds to give the shape to the boat. And, ironically and shamefully; i consider myself a pretty good carpenter for rough frame. The plans ive looked at dont seem to tell one how to make the mold shapes other than a graph with usually 3 numbers in 3 square boxes called the table of offsets such as /2-4-1/1-9-7/2-9-1/1-7-3/1-3-6. i did read this top to bottom. i did figure out that station one is mold one top to bottom. well in any event thanks mate. ill keep trying. maybe tonight ill post a plea for some easy boat plans or is this too audacious? -Myles Alan
P.S. and to the rest of youse who went off on a tangent of this QED stuff... Ease up on the wacky weed. Drugs are a terrible thing to waste.

Wow Dave! I do like the table dinghy! Now, if you could somehow extend the front legs and hank the tablecloth between them, you would have a square rigger, and save on gas. Then, when you get to the sandy beach, just turn it over and have a picknick. Don't laugh, you can't do that with an Avon.

Pity you didn't live in NZ. I have a Van de Stadt sitting on a trailer here in my yard that I am trying to find someone that will take it for free. If I don't find someone soon, I am going to have to take a chainsaw to it. And that'll hurt me as much as the boat.

Mr. Wheeler, iisnt this ironic, if i had a boat i could get to your boat and tow it before you cut it. hey here is something, my friend and landlord is from Austrailia, his name is Bob, do you know him???

yes, im kidding. tis a shame you cant get someone for that boat.im drooling but then i usually drool just day to day. but thanks for thinkin of me and you run a great web site here. maybe you could send me that boat a piece at a time??? Thanks Wheels, your friend, Myles alan
