Canoe the noo.

Well, I got a little discouraged with the average blueprints I have been using for various learning tools. Most of the tiome I make my own designs and render them, so much faster and less mind gnashingly frustrating but, I thought to myself, "Self, try something simpler".
Yea, never fail. A simple canoe. Not much in there to go awry is there?
How anybody builds more than a banana, I cannot fathom. The frames are going to be hit and miss due to the thickness of the lines after all but that can be cured by taking a mid line datum and flipping one half to the other, right?
Wow, how wrong I am. It is obviously logical, well more logical, to make both halves of the frames on completely different alignemts with zero relationship to the top down view of the ?hull? Sorry, more like Emu than Mr Hull.
I just had to get this off my front and said before it drove me into orbit minus the sugar free gum..........
I do hope your hobbies are driving you just that little bit less wonky, stay well folks you and yours.

@Mike-Amos …. Mr Mike, keep your chin up. Boats and canoes can be a real challenge. They look pretty simple but there’s not a straight line in them and it seems no two curves are the same.

@Mike-Amos Haha, reading this made me smile! Sometimes, things that seem simple, like a canoe, can drive you crazy. I also tend to design things myself because it's quicker and less frustrating, but it's true that sometimes trying something simple can leave you feeling discouraged. However, those challenges are what help us learn and improve. Hope you find an easier solution next time and don't let those "emu shapes" get to you! Wishing you lots of fun with your hobbies!

Like everyone here, I have dealt with variable thickness lines and smudges on 'blueprints.
I even made a Venetian Gondola which deliberately has completely different hull lines left to right. Interestin to say the least.
I get peeved when a straightforward canoe, which has a symmetrical design. is so bastardised is suggested as a 'blueprint'. Just an observation and I will make of it what I can for practice sake. Got to laugh a bit more and use emoti thingy's perhaps.
