Skin-on-Frame: Yost keel location

I built my Yost sea tour 15 in accordance with the frame description in the Yost building manual. I have wondered about the keel height above base offset interpretation. Specifically, why is the keel is located 1/4" below the offset? I realize it's not a big difference but it does control the depth of the V shape of the hull. I'm getting close to starting a sea tour exp and am just trying to clear this up before I start.
Any and all suggestions are appreciated.
