Fixing the station at the front of the cockpit
Picture Credit: M. Tanton
So I was thinking as I drew this station that this station would be better off rounded, to give more knee room. When I looked at the plans I realized that 'hey! it is supposed to be rounded'. I used the framing square held one with a nail at the corner, and then spun it with the pencil held down at the correct location. I may have had to slowly move it out an 1/8h of an inch or so. I'm not sure now.
The Trick is to get the right point on the vertical line. to do this find draw a strait line from the top-center point of the keel and the outer corner of the gunwhale. Find the center point of that line, and draw a perpendicular line down to where it crosses the center line. (and double check doing the same on the other side. Drive in your nail (hopefully it is on the ply wood, I got lucky), and draw your arc.
