Re: [bolger] Light Schooner Question

It is a reference to the scale ie. 3" on the drwaing equals 1' in full scale
if you work this out it also means 1' full scall equals 1/4" on the drawing.

Yes - that's the scale; be warned though that the scale holds true
for
the real drawings ;-)

In "New Instant Boats", the study sheet for the Light Schooner's spars shows
a cryptic note next to the enlargement of the main truck. It reads as
follows:

Mastheads
3"=1'0"=1/4

Anybody care to illuminate me as to the meaning of this? I imagine that the
3"=1'0" refers to the scale for this part of the sheet... to what does the
1/4 refer?

1/4 scale?

12/3 = 4
