I'm building a 14 foot paddleboard and can't figure something out. The tail block doesn't make sense to me. The deck at the stern is 15 1/2 wide but the tail block at the deck is 14 1/8. The bottom panel at the stern is 14 1/4 wide but the tail block there is 13 1/2. Using the plan dimension really pinches the back of the board badly. Attached are the pictures of the plans. Am I missing something or are the plans wrong? Generally in my experience its
the former but curious if anyone else sees this.
Sorry, here is the link. i don't see a way to attach an image.

Hi Kevin,
the pictures did not attach....
Hi Kevein,
Hope you have that resolved by now, but here goes. I did have to use the technique in the manual of putting a couple screws in the sheer boards tied a string lookp between the screws and put a stir stick in the midlle of the string and started windin it up. It really pulls in remarkably well. That solved my width problem
I am going to do a new post on the height of the tail block. Miine is about 3/8" short. I can make some mods not in the manual but want to know what others have done first!
