On Edit: I had a wrong assumption - nothing wrong with the drawing...:sorry:
Hi.
Before drilling the aluminum for mast and keel, I drew them with the seat braces in Fusion 360.
But the numbers do not add up. The Gyrobee drawing shows the distance between the hole centers in the seat braces to be 41.125",
while Fusion gives a number of 40.082". So after checking the numbers I tried good ol' Pythagoras - that gave 40.0819". :lol:
Should I make the seat braces one inch shorter? And will it throw off something else?
That made me think - how many other oops'es are hidden in the drawing? You builders out there, do you remember any?
With my aluminum supply so far away, I would like to keep my bucket of shame to a minimum.
Cheers and TIA
