I'm building a Chamberlin Dory from offsets I've found in The Dory Book. When she is finished she should be around 13' long with a 4' beam. I would like to stick a sail on her when she's finished but would someone please tell me if there is some sort of formula to use to position the mast and centerboard? Is there a certain distance from the bow/stern/ midships where the mast should go? I'm hoping to use a similar rig to a Mirror dinghy.
