: It is amazing how fast this style goes together. Something you might want to
: consider because of the distance between frames in the cockpit is a some
: sort of small brace for the chine. On the Sea Raider I built the chines
: flattened out a bit after skinning. On my next one I plan to turn the
: chine 90deg to make it the same as a traditional kayak.

The only intermediate frame I've needed was with a keyhole cockpit one to support the middle of the coaming base, and those are tiny only going from the coaming to the gunwale.
