: Because the strongback is shorter than the boat, you must be sure
: you can comfortably work on the stems at both ends. If this
: requires raising the molds then that is what you have to do.

Hi Glen,
Found my old 2x10 kd homemade book shelves in the garage and used them as a building board on a strongback.
I managed to raise 4 1/2 ". That should do it.

The measurements in Mac Mcarthys book are different from his plan drawing or I'm missing something. The plans show length of building board is 10' 9 1/2" but when you add up the distances it totals 126 3/4" . Should I cut off the difference?
