[Alberg30] Hull etching

[chrishardy]

In order for the laser/ transit/dumpy/builders/water level to work the 
boat must be set up on the hard level fore and aft and athwartships. It 
is always a good idea to put bottom paint a little higher than the line 
to account for extra weight in the boat during the season or during 
extended cruising loads. Bill Mcintoshes book "BUILDING A WOODEN BOAT" 
also has a poor mans way of striking the waterline using two level 
string lines set up athwartships at the fore and aft of the boat and 
using two people, one for the eyeball and one at the boat for pencil 
marking. This method only requires the boat and strings be level 
athwartships. I have used this method and it works great.  Chris
