: I'm building a Tom Yost "Sea Flea" in the 12 ft version.

: looking for a fairly neutral behavior in quarterly winds...
: Many thanks in advance, Florian

The cross section spacing is right on the plans, right in the middle. (had to go look)

These boats have low bows and sterns, not overly effected by winds.
