: The boat I am building is based on one of Toms boats, well two actually, the
: Sea Rider and the Sea Cruiser. So I have had to work out the locations of
: cockpit and frames etc. anyway. But some of Toms boats do have long
: cockpits. The Sea Raider LC for example has a 16 x 32 cockpit.

Looks like you have it figured out. I am a fan of keyhole cockpits. It makes assisted and self-rescues a lot easier, especially the cowboy (scramble) re-entry. Also commando (feet out) beach landings make life easier on a steep backwash.
