I'm building a 14 foot paddleboard and can't figure something out. The tail block doesn't make sense to me. The deck at the stern is 15 1/2 wide but the tail block at the deck is 14 1/8. The bottom panel at the stern is 14 1/4 wide but the tail block there is 13 1/2. Using the plan dimension really pinches the back of the board badly. Attached are the pictures of the plans. Am I missing something or are the plans wrong? Generally in my experience its
the former but curious if anyone else sees this.

Hi Kevein,
Hope you have that resolved by now, but here goes. I did have to use the technique in the manual of putting a couple screws in the sheer boards tied a string lookp between the screws and put a stir stick in the midlle of the string and started windin it up. It really pulls in remarkably well. That solved my width problem
I am going to do a new post on the height of the tail block. Miine is about 3/8" short. I can make some mods not in the manual but want to know what others have done first!
