Annapolis Wherry Plank Alignment Question

Builder's Forum

Just started an Annapolis Wherry build and I've run into an issue with Plank 2 puzzle joint alignment from Stern side.  The blueprint diagram indicated  1 1/16" deviation from the straight line mark on the Plank 2 Stern side joint.  The natural arch would put the deviation at 1 and 15/16 inch.  Am I reading the diagram correctly.  Is the 1 1/16" notation at the stern side scarf?  Is 1 1/16 correct?  Thanks for any help.  Bow side setup works fine with 2 15/16 inch in instructions.

Same issue with Plank 3 stern side as well The 1 1/4 inch is not workable without severe distortion of the joint.  More like 2 inch is natural arch.  What am i doing worng here?

The measuring-off-the-stringline business is for Annapolis Wherries with scarf joints.  

You have puzzle joints, and no measuring is required at all---just snap the puzzle joints together and you'll have the correct alignment.
