There is a 2 page set of plans published for the Super Sailfish, it contains lines and offsets for the various components. We are taking lines off of ZSA ZSA to compare to the measurements in the plans before we close up the bottom. There is an inch or so difference up at the bow and back to STATION 26 and 44, after that the measurements are galloping horse close. The "STATION" is the measurement in inches back from the bow, we took ours to the forward face of the frame. The "LONGERON CUTOUT" is for the deck beam and keel beam that run down the middle, bow to stern.
Took measurements for stations, frames heights and widths, also attachment blocks, keel and side planks.
The triangle piece is the stem, it is the fastening point for the keel and deck beams, the sides and the bottom and deck panels. They came precut in the kit.
Center frame height.
Outer frame height. We also found the width inside the side plank at each frame. Note the nailing block on the forward face of the frame, beveled for a snug fit. About halfway back they are placed on the aft side of the frame, easier to bevel based on the side arc.
Note how the frames barely touch the deck panel, and the nailing blocks are on the aft side of the frame.
Deck and keel beam nailing blocks..
Transom and keel beam nailing block.
The Sailfish plans can be found in the Yahoo Sunfish_Sailor Files/Wooden Fish/Sailfish Prints.
