Which part? Since I'm redesigning the boat, pretty much from the ground up due to inaccurate plans, the entire project is basically a draw/ check the fit/ revise process.
While I was at the HARM, I was talking to a guy working on the restoration of the Nitrogen II, known by many as the Miss Madison. This particular boat became famous when it won the 1971 APBA Gold Cup where it had to defeat many newer boats that were superior in both design and capability. Getting back to the conversation, I had commented on how good the woodworking looked in the boat's restoration. He surprised me when he told me his task was easier than mine since he was working the original framing so all he had to do was make all of the new parts fit. Next time I go down, I'll take a camera so I can take some pictures of the beautiful work being done on this historic boat
