In a past life I used to be a wooden boatbuilder. An old friend just asked me to take a drawing from a 100 year old design and produce an offset table for him: measurements in a standardized format that describe all the important lines of a boat, to be drawn out full size on the floor and from there, molds for the boat are made. So I'm going to try to paste those offsets in the comments below, perhaps the first boat design shared on Gemini?

@smokey I originally started volunteering on weekends at a historical museum that had a traditional boat building program. I did that for years. Eventually I got burned out of tech, so I started doing boat building and sail rigging more or less full time. That lasted a couple years until I got tired of being poor, then I went back to tech full time. · 2 years ago
