Hello Morten,
I am laying out the panels for my Dingy and I have a question on drawing # 10003-05 Upper side panel front part. The front lower measurement reads 5 5/15" down and 5 3/16" in. The next measurement is 4 9/16 then 4 13/16. When I try to draw the line it does not look right to me nor does it quite follow the drawing. I think it must be right as I have not seen anything here from other builders of the 15' dingy ask about it but I thought I would ask before I break out the saw!!!
Thanks,
Neil

Hello Neil,
The measurements are right, and what you should look after, is from where the measurements are set out. The first two measurements (5 5/16 and 5 3/16) are set out from the edge of the plywood sheet. The remaining measurements are set out from the upper edge of the panel. This means that you will have to mark the upper edge of the panel first and then mark the lower edge after that.
