Maybe a bit of width at the tail (which would then be the midships), but again, only to keep the curvature. The maximum width (...) (23 years ago, 15-Oct-01, to lugnet.boats, lugnet.build.military)

| (...) Thanks! (...) Thanks for the suggestions... I've got some more grey plates. Some technical questions: - where should it get longer -overall, foredeck, afterdeck? - does it need extra width as well? (it would need to gain a bit to keep the (...)
