It's because of the Carlson program's limit of 3 stations plus stem and
transom (calls them "bulkheads") to define the hull that I used the Blue
Peter program first. The Carlson program does insert two points on each
chine between stations for smoothing which can be done on these points
with a mouse pointer but that's still rough. For plotting it prints out
points at 8 frames which the user may locate. No doubt more points allow
for better definition of the hull, especially for larger hulls which are
on a larger scale.
