: Thank you, and yes, the "bulkhead" I am referring to are
: the "cross sections" in the Yost instructions, or they
: could be called frames. Anyway yes I know that only the first
: and last are attached to the strongback. However the Baseline is
: NOT the surface of the strong back it is also no longer present
: on the cross section. My question then is how do you go about
: getting the two attached at the correct height on the stations?
: Also as to the keel layout thing, For the Sea Bee on the Yost
: page on cross section layout and construction the keel is
: actually half above the offset point and half below in his
: example ( IE the mark he makes in the ply wood representing the
: keel offset is the center point of the keel beam so in essence
: the keel is half inch lower than the offset marks ) ... on the
: multi chine example the bottom of the keel is actually ON the
: off set point. Since neither example IS the Sea Tour I have to
: pick one, just curious what most people did.

Hi Dan,
When I lay out the notch for the keel I make it 3/4" deep. That makes the bottom of my keel 1/4" lower than the keel point. This may not be the way everyone builds but it works good for me.
When I attach my station forms to the strong back I have them 4.5 to 5 inches above the strong back. This gives plenty of room for the rocker to form into the frame. I don't force the other stations to their design elevation they just go where the stringers bend to. As long as everything is smooth and fair in the lines of the frame it will work fine.
I built the Sea Bee and the Sea Tour both multi chine frames. They are great kayaks to paddle. You will enjoy them very much.
I Hope that this helps some.
