Hi All
I am considering building a SOF Yost Sea Rider for myself. I have kind of started a few years a go but then got worried about space for my size #11 feet. I built a mock up of the cockpit area with a slightly modified frame #4 (supporting front coaming) and concluded that it would be too tight.

I have since seen the clever modification that Marc Upchurch did (replace top of section #4 with bent plywood - like a masik).
This gave me hope that maybe if I modify the upper part of frame #4 and #3, I could make the boat fit.

I would like to be able to paddle the Sea Rider with somewhat bent legs (completely straight legs would be torture..).
My question is whether with enough upper deck modifications I can achieve a slight bent leg seating position in the Sea Rider?

I am 5'8" , Size 11 shoes, 31" inseam.

Many thaks
