After my realisation that I needed two extra blocks per side due to a miscalculation from the plans to my initial  measurements, I improvised with the 4 blocks that were seconds. I also realised that long blocks under the rowlock positions were not going to bend to the curve of the gunwale and would have to be cut down and shaped. I chose to halve them and leave a 20mm gap where the Thole pin will go through. I then had to juggle distances between blocks based on two factors. Firstly the position of the thole pin (rowlock pin) with respect to the thwarts. This required making a decision on where the thwarts are going to sit in the boat. I have gone with the recommendation in the building instructions to spread them out as far as you are able to allow for long legged rowers. That done I could measure the distance from the boat frames to the thole pin. Then secondly I wanted the top of each frame to intersect a block. This required shortening the gap from the roughly 150mm between most blocks to 100 at the forward frames. I kept measuring and repositioning well after the others had gone. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/www.denmarkrowers.org.au\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/IMG_0247-768x1024.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-935\" srcset=\"https:\/\/denmarkrowers.org.au\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/IMG_0247-768x1025.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/denmarkrowers.org.au\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/IMG_0247-225x300.jpeg 225w, https:\/\/denmarkrowers.org.au\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/IMG_0247.jpeg 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><figcaption>Temporary clamping to get the right look<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/www.denmarkrowers.org.au\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/IMG_0248-768x1024.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-936\" srcset=\"https:\/\/denmarkrowers.org.au\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/IMG_0248-768x1025.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/denmarkrowers.org.au\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/IMG_0248-225x300.jpeg 225w, https:\/\/denmarkrowers.org.au\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/IMG_0248.jpeg 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><figcaption>In position but not glued so that more thought can be given to the problem on Thursday<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Cheers Dave<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Tuesday 28th June Another quiet day on the boat building front, but a good day for concentrating on the gunwale blocks.
