I don't know technicaly. I think it might mean you are further from
the dock with all the attendant hazard. A gloomy example of the
latter was a capsize in BC waters the other day in which rescue
divers early on the scene had to wait (against their wishes) 90 min
for backup divers before entering the ship which contained at least
one living boy (who later died). New labor rules. Seems to me this
is the kind of thing that happens in a seaway vs at the dock.

And a keel that was sided 4 1/2" and molded 6" would be 6" high and 1
1/2" wide.

At least "sided" and "molded" are more precise than "in way of" which
bugs me since it usually doesn't mean much more than "near." And what
about "in a seaway"? Does than mean anything more than "in largish
waves"?

Picture looking a boat plan in profile (side) or plan (top) view. "Sided"
refers to thickness in the longitundal or fore and aft direction.
Complementing the term "sided" is the term "molded". This refers to the
thickness of a member in distance in the sectional view (cross-section).

Therefore a frame that sided 3" and molded 2" would be 3" wide in the fore and
aft dimension and 2" thick from the inside of the planking.

Hope this is clear enough.

Uh oh. Now you're in for it. Deep boating knowledge is that you're not
supposed to ask, so I don't know either!

OK, here's one of those "seen it many times but don't really know what
it means" boatbuilding terms. In the Mouser builder's key, the term
"sided" is used several times like this:

Keel sided 4 1/2" oak or equal...
Skeg sided 2" oak or equal...
...tiller mahagony sided 1 1/4"....

What does "sided" mean in this context?

Thanks,

Matthew
