: I plan to build a Yost Sea Cruiser-R and am looking for some
: advise. I plan to build the foldable version with aluminum
: tubing and have not found pictures of the frame on the YostWerks
: site. Specifically, I was wondering about two matters: first are
: inwales used on this design? and secondly, on the rear deck how
: are the tubing arranged at the top? In other words, do you put
: three 3/4" tubes across the top, do you omit the center
: tube, or reduce the tubing size? If anyone has good pics of a
: completed Sea Cruiser-R frame, it would be greatly appreciated.

You really need to look at all the folders on Tom's web site. All the details are there, but they may not be all on each plan to save space I assume, also I suspect would get kinda boring re-adding the same info over and over on each plan. There's a limit what you can expect for free :)

Btw, you can always E-mail Tom, he's always been very helpful, address on his website.

It looks like the rear deck would have two deck stringers. There would be little point in having a third stringer down the center aft.
