I would like to get this anchor for Buccaneer but the seller will not allow me to bid because I'm from Canada.
Can anyone help me out Please.

Interesting theory, yes the offsets were taken form the half model which represented the outside of the hull.
I saw a video of Halsey on you tube using the measuring devise and while he did it he said that you needed to subtract the thickness of the planking.
So my question still remains to be answered is weather or not the offsets from MIT are direct off the half model with or without the planking consideration.

I did study several times so far I have found any indication. I suppose I can loft the first couple and reference them from the the bow, I may be able to get a safe reading from that.

Restoration / Offsets for 15 Footer

Does anyone know to what point the Herreshoff Buzzards Bay 15 offset are measured, I think they are measured to the inside of the planking but I want to know for sure before I start. The only reason I ask is because I read other article on Wooden boat ( Building the Maid ) that spoke of the offset measurements to the outside of the planking.
I think the offsets from MIT are the originals from HMC and would therefore be no need for these offsets to be to the outside of the planking.

Well I checked the sails Buccaneer came with there are 2 sets both have Spiniker sails. One set made by Thurston with a Yellow and black alternating colour much like a yellow jacket hornet which seem to the nicer set the other made by Hood Sails which does seems to be an older set. Both set have the E 19.
I post some pictures of the tiller and Jib club.
The Jib club has checked pretty bad it looks original I thin I might try to repair to see how it goes but I does have a nice sitka spruce club as a back up and I'll transfer the hardware.
I think I will try mold remover one more time.
