: Thank you, and yes, the "bulkhead" I am referring to are
: the "cross sections" in the Yost instructions, or they
: could be called frames. Anyway yes I know that only the first
: and last are attached to the strongback. However the Baseline is
: NOT the surface of the strong back it is also no longer present
: on the cross section. My question then is how do you go about
: getting the two attached at the correct height on the stations?
: Also as to the keel layout thing, For the Sea Bee on the Yost
: page on cross section layout and construction the keel is
: actually half above the offset point and half below in his
: example ( IE the mark he makes in the ply wood representing the
: keel offset is the center point of the keel beam so in essence
: the keel is half inch lower than the offset marks ) ... on the
: multi chine example the bottom of the keel is actually ON the
: off set point. Since neither example IS the Sea Tour I have to
: pick one, just curious what most people did.

OK never mind on the section height, I see now I will just pick and arbitrary height ( say 3" ) and then add that to the offset and measure to the bottom of the keel ( which I will have to install a stub of to measure against ) Same for the aft section.
