Dear Karl-Otto,
Here are the revised CAD files.
Unfortunately I cannot tell you much about them as I cannot find a
viewer that will open them, but if you have difficulty I suggest you
contact Adam Cowley (www.box-yacht.com),
who I have copied in with this mail. Adam is the architect who did
this work for us.
Although we are now happy with the
files for stations 3, 6 and 9, the transom is problematic for the
reasons explained in my earlier mail. Since your prototype passed
using the master templates in Malmo, we know your boat is OK unless
you have altered the transom in any way. I believe there are two
template images in the file, Adam might be able to explain which is
which. My advice would be to perhaps cut some temporary templates
for the bow and transom at this stage using mdf or ply, pending us
sorting out the definitive shape, which may not be until after the
next Worlds when we can check the transom template against all
current production boats.

505 Offset Table

For those who are still playing with the
sections drawings and the
offset table, the
distance between stations are:
11 to 10: 600 mm
10 to 9 through 2 to 1: 460 mm
1 to bow: 310 mm
By the way, the drawings of the
hull in the rule book and reproduced on the website with the class
rules are scale drawings, and reasonably accurate measurements can
be taken from those drawings. The diagonal, the buttocks, and the
waterlines can be determined. It sounds like some of you need to
refer to a book on hull design and lofting lines to get the full
benefit of the drawings. Just a suggestion...
