The points specified by Yosts HB, HAB are the "corners" of the chines or gunnels, and the bottom/center of the keelson. After you plot a point, you lay in a cross-section of the appropriate stringer, matching a corner of that cross-section, to the specified point. It makes sense, after you try it.

On a single chine design, the gunwale and chine cross-sections are in line with each other. On a multi-chine, it's conceivable to place the secondary chine(s) either more vertically, or more horizontally in frame, as long as a corner matches the specified point. You'll can intuitively determine which way to go.

: Thanks for all the input everyone! right now i am looking at the
: yost sea bee and the chuckanut 12. i started to plot out all the
: sections of the sea bee in auto cad. Yost has a pretty great
: write up of a sea bee build on his site. this appears to be an
: older single chine version. that version appears to longer be
: available on his site and has been replaced with a multi chine
: version. I'm assuming the multi chine version is stronger due to
: 3 chines on each side as opposed to the single, is that true?
: the multi chine to me seems like it would be more difficult? I'm
: a little confused on where to "notch" the sections to
: hold the chines. are the vertices on the sections the center of
: the chines or a bottom edge? (not sure if that makes sense) are
: there any other good write ups online that show how to build a
: multi chine kayak in the Yost fashion? I still plan to look into
: the C12 once i receive the plans i sent for. thanks for the
: input.
