: There is about 1.5" of rocker as based on the offets and
: computation below. Read the link again that I posted in this
: thread,
: and you should be able to understand what's going on.

: Sea Rider ....Section 1 keel is .124 = 1.5" (38mm)
: Section 8 keel is .134 = 1.6" (41mm)
: Section 4 keel is 0.0"

: Therefore, you have approx. 1.5" of rocker at sections 1 and 8
: which are at least a couple of feet back from the stems.

: Look at the link I posted earlier and note how the "Sea
: Ranger" section 1 and 8 were placed 4" above the
: baseline (strongback) even though
: the offsets show 1". You don't want the keel low point of
: 0" to be on the strongback, but rather at a working
: distance above it.

: If the "Sea Rider" section 1 and 8 keel are arbitrarily
: placed 4" above the strongback, then the keel low point
: 0" must be placed 2.5" above
: the strongback to retain the designed rocker of 1.5".

I look dumb, so others won't have to. I ran the .124 though the (ftx12)x2.54 and thought inches instead of cm ...before my coffee.

Thanks Tom and thanks for your website
