Ah ha. Yes. Of course. Thank you, Steve. Now I get it. And of course now it looks so simple I wonder why I didn't get right away. This is one of the reasons why I have enjoyed sewing since I took it up a couple winters ago. It is much like boat building, which I also enjoy. Very multi dimensional with each component interacting with all others.
Okay, I have a coffee at my side to start the day. After breakfast, I will be back at the sewing machine. Again, thank you very much for your clear and prompt reply.

Because Father Bill is pulling your chain. In a former life I was a Naval Architect/Marine Engineer. I worked in the boating industry, owned my own yacht company, and have designed and built many boats from fiberglass and rotomolded sea Kayaks, to trailerable lapstrake wooden rowing and sail boats, up to 63 ft. world class, single handed sailing cruisers.
I used to live on a 42' Rhodes Bounty II and single handed from Florida to Hawaii and back including 3 days in a hurricane off the coast of Honduras.

This all very good to know. When I run into a problem on my next boat build, I will know who to turn to. I am hoping that will be next winter if I can find a heated workshop. Clearly your knowledge and experience far exceeds mine, Steve. I only have two builds under my belt - my current Wharram designed 24 foot cat and a prevoius cat, also a Wharram design. Currently I am infatuated with a Kohler design, a 20 foot cat.
