"Thinking back what I did was to have the scarf joints at 60 degree angels, or greater but on opposite sides to each other. If im not mistaken James Wharram has a write-up some where on it. Also, if you go to furniture factories they have a router…"

"Thanks - will keep on looking. Im greatful for all the help but your'e right it's become complicated. All i want is to build a simple dingy/annexe of 2.8m x 1.2 - 1.4m wide. It's just to cart provisions to and from my Pahi 42. Any…"

"More info recieved: You have proposed changing length from 2.2 to 2.8 which is more than 10% in fact that is 27% Changing the width from 1.1 to 1.4 is much more than 10%. It may not be advisable to change both dimensions by that much. When you…"

"Hmmm. I don't think it's a dumb question but it IS something that would require analysis of the design to ensure there are no unintended consequences. Stability for example. If you don't get an answer here then try asking on…"

"Thanks for all the input, much appreciated. Maybe a dumb question - can one increase existing measurements say by 10% or 200mm to make a dingy bigger? Or how do i do it - say length of 2.2 stretch to 2.8 and width of 1.1m to 1.4m ??? Thanks for the…"
