There are plenty of people *way* more experienced than me who I hope will comment, but my thoughts, for what they are worth, is that a flatter bottom would help. To me it looks like the bottom os v'd all the way along, which will reduce manoeuverability. Also, having such rounded bilges will mean that i will not tern to turn much when leaned: I'm prety sure a harder chine is better for that. Flattening the bottom all the way along would both reduce the V which will resist turning and help you to develop a harder chine, which will help turning on edge.

I like the shearline though!

Just my thoughts, I'll be interested to see what others say.
