: I have the same idea and have gotten as far as a CAD drawing based
: on what is on the Cape Falcon site. Its hard to know if what I
: have drawn is accurate. Did you go forward and build a boat?
I have not built yet but plan to over the winter. I think I have a decent set of numbers now after having gone over the Cape Falcon drawings about five times. One thing that helped was to convert the drawings from jpeg to something more of a bitmap format. It doesn't improve the poor resolution but at least when you expand the image the lines don't get all jagged. I also found that I needed to rotate one of the images slightly to get the image vertical lines to line up with the grid lines in the software display. It didn't seem to help to expand the images a huge amount since the lines would become so thick I'd just have to pick a number that seemed like the center. I can email you the offsets I came up with if you'd like.
