scale of one inch to nine feet:
* The ratio (scale) is 1inch%2F9feet
For every 1 inch = 9 feet
Based on the boat made:
Length=10cross%28inches%29%2A%289feet%2Fcross%281inch%29%29
Length=90feet ------------------> actual Length
Widt=1.8cross%28inches%29%2A%289feet%2Fcross%281inch%29%29
Width=16.2feet ---------------> actual Width
Thank you,
