NE Dory mast thwart position

�Building my dory, I have a problem with the position of the mast thwart for the lug vesrsion. Based on the picture on the lug addendum, the center of the thwart and the knees should be 1.3 meters from the bow. But mine would be 3 inches (8 cm) beyond that point to have the knee touch the bullkhead. Whoch should I follow? The length in the drawing or position the knees just in front of the bulkhead? I tend to go for the latter. I may surely have made some imperfections but not 3 inch worth:-) Thanks for your help)

RE: NE Dory mast thwart position

When I was building my dory 3+ years ago, John told me the center of the mast hole in the thwart should be 6-7/16" from the forward face of the first frame.   Barry
