I am new to this and am in the process of drawing out themolds and was wondering what the purpose for the table of heights? I can't seem to fiqure out what purpose they serve.
i am assumeing that the table of half-breaths gives you the shape of the molds. I have purchased Canoe Craft and am useing it as a guide. Oh ya another Redbird.
Thanks Randy :dancing

The table of half-breadths will provide you with most of the points you need to draw the forms but you can't do it with just this info. The table of heights will give you the rest of the points you need to complete the forms. Try drawing one form using just the table of half-breadths then do the same exercise using the info from both tables, you will see the difference.
