er,,no that info is from the designer and the present demo model is being built that way. I believe this is their first experience taking the spread sheer clamp construction to a limit where forms are required at the ends with eight panels. Honestly it's flat water handling is good but one of the dificulties with pre-glued sheerclamps on side panels is that the possible curves in the vertical and horizontal planes are restricted with a lot of tension developed around the ends during construction compared to hulls that are only made from ply. None of which is of consequence unless you want the bow 2" higher AND want the deck curve to continue forward or some other development of angles near the bow that the outward pull of the sheer clamps prevent.
