Large dot positions were determined from the mold plans and small dots represented, as close to a fair curve as the line would allow. This represents the DWL shown on the plans.
The bottom paint is Interlux Brightside, color is Seattle Gray. Color variations in photos due to light in boat shop. The building of the boat is more or less mechanical, laying out the waterline is definately a leap of faith.
The planks lay fair without hard spots, so the molds must be correct and make laying up much easier. My thanks to Hewes & Co. and your partners overseas Jourdan Boats. We plan on having a turnover party as soon as I can get a second coat on the bottom and two coats on the topsides. Plan to use Sea Green as a topside color. The sheer plank will be finished bright, as will the rails.
