Is there an error in the measurements for the side-panel on Dimension Sheet 1 of the TIKI 21 Building Plans?

The discrepancy you noticed between the measurements on the Tiki 21 side-panels is not actually a mistake. Due to the necessity to place the ply joints at equal distance forward of Bulkhead 4 and aft of Bulkhead 2, plus the fact that a sheet of ply is 8′ long, we run 1/2″ short of plywood at the tip of the bow. This is not a problem, as it constitutes a minute piece of missing ply that can easily be filled with some epoxy filler while you are using filler there anyway. So draw your ply side-panel to the given measurements, but place the tip of the bow 1/2″ over the edge of the plywood and draw the angled stem to this virtual point.
