I have been very pleased with my Cape Charles. CLC did instruct me to follow the offsets more than the curve drawings, and to fair with a batten. The Tred Avon is fairer that the Cape Charles is, but then it is my second S&G boat, too. I assumed it was my drawing and fairing that is flawed. I find George's comment most interesting. I'd try it but the next boat is a stripper....
