Still finding them butts, eh?


No, they must have vacuumed pretty well

It's the almost total lack of any true 90 degree angles in the
otherwise nicely fitted cabin joinerwork and stuff like that.


Oh gawd, there ain't more than a dozen 90-degree angles on Xan. Should
have seen me measure and remeasure both sides of the bulkheads I was
replacing. I couldn't believe the hull could flare that much in 3/4".

I believe most of the non-90 is because they needed to have the flair
to get the molded parts out of the molds. I don't believe any of the
vertical panels other than the main bulkhead are actually square to the
sole, though the difference is subtle.
