Because
most of our designs have their offsets and panel shapes stored
on the computer, altering a particular design to suit a clients
individual requirements of length, beam and draft, can be
undertaken easily and quickly. The Highlander 9' is a good
example of this and has been developed from the 10' Highlander
for a client who needs a specific size of dinghy to fit on
the coachroof of his yacht. The drawings consist of the construction
plan and sail/rig plan of the Highlander 10 with a new drawing
showing the hull panel, frame and transom shapes for this
9' x 4'6" version. 3 sheets of 6mm ply are used.
