: Has anyone built the multi-chine Yost "Sea Bee 13"? Could
: you post a picture of the frame for me? I'm just curious if
: there is still one forward deck stringer and two aft deck
: stringers. Is the forward one still 3/4" x 3/4" and
: are the two aft stringers still 1"x 3/4"?

: thanks,

The one the class built last year is posted on Tom's site, it's finished with a black hull and red deck. I use all 3/4" x 3/4" material for the decks, works fine for the average person. You mostly put your weight on the frame behind the cockpit anyway. The reason for twin stringers in the rear deck is to hold your weight if you sit on the deck entering or getting out of the boat. You're not likely to sit on the foredeck :)

The 1" x 3/4" deck stringers will work fine too, probably a good idea if you use cedar, the class boat was done in white pine, much stronger than WRC.
