I too agree with Bram's & Ron's posts. I don't really see why the
technology used to create station templates should have any affect on
the dimentions of the template. There may be small variances in
hand-built boats, but the rules allow for those variances (as they
should) and there will likely be other small variances throughout the
construction process.
