Derivations

In Response To: Drawing of Anas Acuta *Pic* (Craig Bumgarner)

Someone correct me if I'm wrong, and I've been wrong on this topic before, but I think the Pintail is a rounded chine derivation of the Anas Acuta, which is a fiberglass derivation of a plywood boat, which was derived from measurements taken from a native SOF boat.

I had always figured that the reason the Pintail was 1.5" wider than the Anus Acuta was because the rounded chines gave it less initial stability for the same beam.

In my mind the Pintail is the Number One Fun in the Surf boat. (at least until I get my Guillemot finished)
