RE: [bolger] Re: Amateur Boat builders

Yep, those would be correct calculations.  It was floating box with a slightly raised roof.   I think I'll wait for Mr. Bolger to do a set of plans and Dynamite to do a prototype in plywood before attempting a build.

A cubit would work out at approx 1ft 5in 4eighth,giving the ark dimensions as
follows
L 437.6.0.
B 72.11.0.
D43.9.0.
and interestingly a displacement of about the same as------Titanic.

It is from the tip of my center finger to the tip of my elbow. ;-)
Thus, one cubit = 19 3/4" or 49.5 cm.
