Pocketship builders,
I purchased a partially built pocket ship and am working on the seatback framing. the manual mentions a temporary frame positioned back next to the transom to assist the alignment with the longitudinal framing. on my boat, the previous owner permanently installed this aft most frame about 3" from the transom (lower measurement). i would like to leave it in place if possible. my question is how far forward of the transom skirt is the hole for the gallows stanchion? i could not find a reference to this in the manual. it looks like most are installing a mooring cleat between the gallows and the t skirt. i am looking for a dimension to help me make my decision.
thanks!
Todd
