Philinnyc Posted August 5, 2014 Share #1 Posted August 5, 2014 Hi, Currently working on my Sakonnet Daysailer and started painting the hull. Having a bit of trouble with the waterline template though. It's printed out on the kit supplied plan. So I made a few photocopies. But after cutting out the template on one sheet it didn't sit right on the hull and I knew I wouldn't get an accurate freehand line that way. I tried framing out another sheet by taping strips of wood but that just warped on me. I may try cardboard next or just use the dimensions from the profile view in the plans and go from there. I'll figure it out, I guess, but any hints, tips or suggestions are welcomed. Also, what's the best way to mark the WL? I know graphite shows through paint and I'd rather not scribe. Was thinking of using a pastel pencil that matches the color below the WL. Thanks, Phil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
