2. Restoration becomes reconstruction<br />
a. Taking off the lines<br />
One of the first tasks in restoration of Michel Selig was<br />
to create a set of plans for her. I knew that the hull was<br />
sufficiently twisted that the distance from the port and<br />
starboard sides of the hull to the centreline would not<br />
be the same because of this<br />
The first step in doing this was to "take off her lines",<br />
i.e. measure enough points on the surface of the hull to<br />
be able to produce a three dimensional model, of the<br />
hull.<br />
With my gardener, we measured 800 points on the hull<br />
along the waterlines, the stations and the but<strong>toc</strong>ks<br />
(longitudinal sections) - both port and starboard.<br />
