Re: [bolger] measurements
The lack of a complete catalog is a continuing source of discussion.
Dynamite Payson sells some Bolger plans for Instant Boats on his web
site. Otherwise you need to pick out a design by name and/or design
number and e-mail or write or fax a request for price to Susan
Altenberger (a the address/fax below). And give her some time to get the
business back on track, given the recent death of Phil.

You should try NCB metric - imperial measurements
converted to metric and then either left as is with
completely unrealistic tolerances or else rounded up
or down to the nearest millimetre without any
consideration as to whether this was a stock size or
not.
Then there's shipyard tolerances
Carpenters work to the nearest 1/4 inch
Platers work to the nearest 1/8 inch
Engineers work to the nearest thou
and
Shipwrights work to the nearest ship

A posative person always uses a + and a negative person always uses a -
. This makes it easy to tell how stable the person you are dealing with
is. Just a thought to ponder.

The last number is eighths a plus or minus after it means a 1/16 more or
less.

The Google can convert feet/inches into centimeters ,
type "1 foot, 5 3/8 inch" into the Google search box and click "Google
Search" to get the answer 44.1325 centimeters
http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=1+ft+5+3%2F8+inch
You probably will find it hard to believe that I find working in feet
and inches much easier than working in centimeters. The human brain!
Hi Rodrigo,
I could be wrong but I think they are feet, inches and eighths since
this has been the traditional way of providing offset numbers in the
USA.
Take a look at the last digits. If any of them are in the 8-15 range
the last digit would have to be 16ths. But if the last digits are all
in the 0-7 range they are probably 8ths.
Sincerely,

Boat plan offsets are (feet, inches, eighths). The eighths
sometimes has a "+" or "-" after it, meaning +1/16 or -1/16.
