  estimating waterline length with a tape
  Posted by: CEWilson on Oct-28-12 6:16 PM (EST)
 

Just lay the tape down the keel line of an upside down hull, hold it tight and straight. For Argosy, have a friend hold the end of the tape at estimated 3.5 inches up st the stern due to minimal stern rocker, then estimate ~2.5" up from tape to the bow, compensating for bow rocker, and read the number.
