Thank you for the response Tim. Glad to see signs of life on the forum. I thought of enlarging the bulkhead thumb-nails also and trying to come up with an accurate scale. Don’t use cad, I’m old school paper and pencil. Your foam board and stir stick suggestion is a good one. I thought of establishing a horizonital line at the exact locations, measuring down and lofting onto a template. Just seems like an awful lot of additional work for plan builders that didn’t have to be. Spoke with Steve at OCH and got the impression that Doug isn’t offering plan support. Emailed Doug anyway, about including bulkhead temps in plans being Hewes & Co has one information. Kind of not expecting a response. Thanks again. Joe.
Thank you for the response Doug. Looking at your photos, Margaret Ann is a testament to your thoughtful and meticulous approach, a man after my own heart! The bulkhead locations are easy to find, lack of information pertaining to shape is a problem. It seem once the boat specs were sent to Hewes & Co. for kit fabrocation, it would be short work to provide bulkhead lay-outs after the fact. Might reach out to Doug Hylan to see if that is doable. Thanks again.
Greetings All,
Joe Cangeleri here. Considering building from plans and been giving them a good hard look. I have drawing, drafting, lay-out and woodworking experience including helping to build a small skiff (but not start to finish). One thing that seems glaringly missing is the lay-out for bulkheads. The one at station 6 can be worked out, the other 4 are missing in action. Love Doug Hylan’s designs but don’t understand why bulkhead lay-outs were not included. Any insight from other plan builders would be appreciated. Thanks, Joe.
