length from class rules....

presuming there isn't a cassette then take chord-profile from the hole in the bottom of boat.

If there is a cassette.....you have more choice, and I would suggest sticking to one of the NASA profiles

plan shape....up to you, but fancy shapes tend to be harder to get accurate profiles with.

I am sure the cherub site (from JimC's time) had something on making foils...jim?

I was lucky as I had my magnum 6 one to copy my 8 was slightly slimer and I took a gamble and did the manin shape with an electric plane and finished by hand then wraped with cloth and my main blank came out from an old centerboard that was just an unfinished blank off some thing .
