I'm completely new to ship building, so I ordered a 3 kit learning package from Modelexpo. I actually completed the dory and it's okay. I'm trying to start the sailing pram and I'm really hoping someone on here has done it before because I've got two items that I can't figure out. The first is that the transom knee looks so much bigger than the picture and it has a hole in it. I've read the full instructions twice all the way through and it matches the paper layout. There's also 2 of them.

The second spot is the instructions say to saw 2 diagonal spots on the transom,but no angle or depth of cut given.

If anyone has anything that would help, I would really appreciate it, because as it sits I'm not comfortable going any further.
Modelexpo has not returned my emails or phone calls at this point.
Thank you
Dave

Welcome aboard from Connecticut. I think you did the right thing by starting out with the 3 kits. If you send model expo a picture of you with your Dory they will credit you the price of it for your next order. There are many build logs of the 3 kits. Her is one I made of the sailing pram, but definitely look at others.
