That's funny you ask because I ran into the same dilemma. I went to the Marine store and the guy goes, "Are you sure that's feet? Or yards?" I was like, "It's feet. It's a 16 foot boat." He thinks for a minute with that Minnesota look. So I called a fellow builder and sure enough... it's a 16' boat. It's feet.
One thing to add is don't worry about the colors so much. Your shop may not have the colors in the thicknesses described. Thickness is more important. And if you do classic metal turnbuckles you don't need the thin red rope, which is used as turnbuckles in PocketShip #1. Looks classy but takes some time.
Agree - hope to see some pics soon.
