Hi Tom,

Well....I went from a 21" wide boat to a 19" wide boat, think I have a fair chance of swimming, rather do it in warmer water
(yeah I know, learn to roll, well I'm still trying)

The multi chine makes for a nice multi chine boat, closer to a round bottom but not exactly the same.

Btw, ever design a rowing scull?
