Skin-on-Frame: Keel Height from Offsets *LINK* *Pic*

I'm building a Tom Yost/Sea Flea for my daughter. On Monday, I finally got my WRC and Monday night, I started trial fitting the stringers for the gunwales, chines and keel.

In the offsets, it has section 1 being 12mm off the baseline, section 2 being at the baseline (0mm), section 3 being 3mm and section 4 being 16.5mm.

I've got cross sections 1 and 4 mounted at the appropriate height. But, nothing's jumping out at me how to pull (and KEEP) section 2 down so that it's the baseline height.

Thoughts? Opinions? Witty commentary?
