500mm (2' ) boats: Boats built to this standard are prefect in every detail when veiwed from a distance of 2' i.e. in close examination one can't see any flaws.
5.0m (15' ) boats: These boats look good if you stand back a little. the sheer is right, detailing correct and they will please the designer and anyone who uses them. The builder may feel that he/she could have done better but there's always next time. My boats fall into this category and I fear I will never be able to produce a 500mm boat!!
50.0m (150' ) boats: These arn't improved by distance, the designer will disown the builder, and no-one will want to use the boat. I have to admit I have built a boat to this standard ( once, a long time ago, luckily a lady wanted a garden planter and I was able to quit it ).
