There is a lot of intuition in any small boat design. Even educated naval architects rely on it. All designs are compromises because nobody can turn out a boat that satisfies all the competing interests.

Yeah, I'm quite comfortable with my boats, but there is a fair bit of
: difference in them. If I were uncomfortable with it, I'd just build new
: ones or modify the ones I have, I was just curious how people design them.

: designs to suit my personal needs. As such, I don't know what factors the
: designers took into account.
