Hi Bill,
I never was good with graphs. But looking at it again I guess anything negative is bad :-) I don't need super stability, but I'm not the best with balance so need something more stable than a K1 type hull. So maybe this will rule it out.
What about something like the Razor Billed Auk? Stability seems beeter, and still described as fast and responsive.
Regards,
Darren
