Howdy all,

i'm building a Seatour 15 EXP. Studied all i can find and layed it out, but I've got 2 questions that i just cant figger out.

1. keel...using 1' x .75" lumber. Is it flush with the frame bottom or raised .25"? The multi chine design dosent have the additional side offsets either, correct?

2, stems...mebbe when all the chines and gunwales are in this becomes obvious, but it aint to me as yet. What is the relationship I am trying to achieve with these angles? Not that i wouldnt appreciate actual dimensions, but i'd rather understand the whys. Tom's directions are very clear, but i dont have any boat building experience to say "what looks right".

This is my first boat, and wont be my last (gotta make at least one more , for my son!) but i'd like to get it as right as possible from the jump.

thanks
dave
