In Response To: Cunningham/Sea Kayaker stitch-n-glue design flaw? (Dean Trexel)

Try to measure the areas. The center of the area below the waterline must be aft of the center of gravity. Otherwise you will have problems going downwinds and with weathercoking

Personaly I would have had 55mm at the steem and 35mm at the stern
