While drawing the kit boat Eagle I discovered an error on the dimensions of Bulkhead 4. The sheer height to the gunwale should be 877. The actual drawing is correct, however some plans sent out had the incorrect measurement.

It sound alarming but is actually a minor change, even if you have already cut out the bulkhead. If you have set them up you will have found that the gunwale was difficult, if not impossible, to bend round using the old, wrong, dimension

I very much apologise for this error. I checked all the other bulkhead dimensions and found no other mistakes.

The attached drawings clarify the aft beam to cockpit joint when using metal beams. Dimensions are necessarily vague as much depends on the beam section you use and of course your own boat
