: Hey Kent,

: How tall are you? What is your inseam? How long is your cockpit? What is the
: difference between the height of the coaming forward and aft?

Now your really taxing my memory. As I remember I have the back of the masik 5" forward the center line. The deck beam just aft the cockpit is 13" aft the center (best I remember) So that makes the opening 18". The deck height aft the cockpit from bottom of the keel to top of the deck beam is 5-3/4" and the masik to bottom of the keel is about 7-3/8" (best I remember) 8-1/2" to the top of the masik. I can't remember for the life of me what the dimension to the foot brace is but I think it was 31" from center line to brace. My inseam is 30". I made the cockpit coaming form yesterday but haven't measured it yet. I took the ocean size small cockpit form from the last boat and cut about 3/4" off all the way around.

If I Don't get to lazy tonight I'll see if I can get some pics of the new frame. I used a mortis and tenon method of construction this time but the difference is I made them blind mortises using my router and a home made jig. So as you look at the outside of the gunnels you don't see a tenon or lashings.
