Restoration Advice

Getting interesting on Ambra...

I thought that she would be double diagonal on the sides and triple on the bottom, but interested to find out.

Later boats had raised chine in forward sections, but I do not think that it affects the overall lengths.

Solid bearers could have been for the installation of the Gas turbines when she was 'Southerner'.

I am interested in seeing the plan and finding out what other information 'pushback' has.  

The designs were all developed based on moulded lines, which were then lofted up. The frames were built in jigs taken from the loft floor and built up into the boats skeleton, with planking added onto that.

This allowed for fast and accurate building of subassembly component at any location and less time on the assembly line. 

The earlier boats were generally built as first of class and then the finished dimensions lifted to make jigs for the rest of the series.

Regarding the length, then an additional 3" could easily be taken up by the moulded line at the stem and transom, but may also include any rake of the transom in relation to the baseline, however I have not compared the lines of these boats with a real one.
