Here we go again, 4.5 months later and I've found that another set of plans I bought were more wrong that I thought.
Went to the Seattle Seafair race on Sunday, partially to see the boats and partially to see people I know on the various teams. I found most of the people I know and met a few new ones, namely Andrew Tate(he's a really nice guy, just for the record) and Gunnar O'Farrell and his father(two more really great people). I also got to do some checking on "Sharkey", otherwise known as the 2007 Oberto and now the Apollo. I knew the deck shape on the right side on the plans was wrong previously. What I learned Sunday is that the nontrip, like on the orange boat pictured previously in this thead, has a lower nontrip angle of 30 degrees on both sides and not the 45 shown on the plans. Just made me happy I hadn't cut out all of the frames for that boat yet. Hopefully, I'll get a chance to work on the boats over the weekend so I can start clearing out my living room
