In Response To: How much rocker? (Linda)

I have yet to see a consistent and meaningful way of measuring rocker. Usually it's expressed as "more" or "less." As in "Less rocker than your Pintail will probably result in a straighter tracking boat, all other things being equal."

I'd love to have someone else chime in at this point and prove me wrong.
