: I'm building a Tom Yost "Sea Flea" in the 12 ft version.

: looking for a fairly neutral behavior in quarterly winds...
: Many thanks in advance, Florian

Oh yeah, I'd Email Tom for the end lengths, didn't see that on the plans, though it's not really critical. As long as all the stringers, keel and gunwales have a fair curve into the stems it'll be fine.
