I have had the same problem as you with feet, inches and eights.
I converted all of the imperial units to metric and made a new table of offsets. It still has the 2x2in squares but all other meassurements are metric. Much easier for a european.
Have done this for the Prospector and the Freedom.

well. it leaves me with one problem though.
if I look at the sheerline heights from station 6 through 7 to the stem, it doesn`t produce a flued line
at station 7 the sheerline height is too high, it produces a bump in the sheerline
could this produce a problem during the building proces?
