well done, i just had a similar problem on one of my channels, only caught half way through putting the chain plates on

hello everyone I have been quiet on MSW this week, RL and work getting in the way, took day off work just to get on with the build, the stern is taking quite a lot of time to get right, no visit from Murphy to mess it up either, he paid me a visit at the week-end on the last chain plate channel did not realise the problem until 1/2 way through fitting the chain plates themselves found out it was far to low, approx 5mm the Spanish inquisition i carried out revealed i had been measuring from the wale on the plans, but transferred the distance from the painted black band on the build,
