    John Ruy's post in Fishing Dories was marked as the answer   
    Could the issue be as simple as measuring the bottom of the Dory rather than the rail stem to stern?

    Measuring the bottom at 2.75 inches and dividing that by .1875 (3/16” = 1’) I get 14.66666 Feet as the length of the Dory as drawn. 
     
    Just a thought…

    Update…
     
    Ordered Cowl Ventilators from Bluejacket and began building Dorade Boxes. 

    These should look much more appropriate. Here is the Ventilator look I am going for…

    4 of 6 Dorade boxes are built…

    Here is a link to my Build Log.

    John Ruy's post in Tips for Uploading pictures (iPhone Users) was marked as the answer   
    I have been on MSW for just over 2 years now and have been using my iPhone for access to the site and posting pictures to my build logs and the gallery without any issues.
     
    Until lately, when my pictures started uploading rotated sideways by 90 degrees. In searching for a solution to this issue I have discovered my older photos were posting properly, it was my recent photos that were being rotated improperly. 
     
    I found that if I resize those photos to a landscape aspect ratio, they will upload properly. Also, if I take the photo with the iPhone sideways (landscape) I can upload directly without having to edit the photo. 
     
    Obviously 🙄 Apple 🍎 has changed their software AGAIN!!!!  
     
    The above processes are a good work around for now. Who knows when Apple will change something again. 
     
    Hope this tip is helpful to you all who might be transferring your photos to a PC or MAC. It’s much easier to keep it all on one device.

About the NRG

If you enjoy building ship models that are historically accurate as well as beautiful, then The Nautical Research Guild (NRG) is just right for you.

The Guild is a non-profit educational organization whose mission is to “Advance Ship Modeling Through Research”. We provide support to our members in their efforts to raise the quality of their model ships.

The Nautical Research Guild has published our world-renowned quarterly magazine, The Nautical Research Journal, since 1955. The pages of the Journal are full of articles by accomplished ship modelers who show you how they create those exquisite details on their models, and by maritime historians who show you the correct details to build. The Journal is available in both print and digital editions. Go to the NRG web site (www.thenrg.org) to download a complimentary digital copy of the Journal. The NRG also publishes plan sets, books and compilations of back issues of the Journal and the former Ships in Scale and Model Ship Builder magazines.
