Brian,

Do you have an idea why these knuckle chines end around the cockit and not go all the way to the stern? How is this thing in strong winds? Does it get blown of the top of the wave if you are sideways to the wind?

: As far as pearling, as another poster asked, according to Brian, the knuckle
: chines at the bottom of the gunwales provides just the right amount of
: extra volume the boat needs. It makes a big difference if they are left
: off, and if you look at the wave pictures on Brian's web site, you'll see
: why, given the Pacific surf at Manazanita, OR. Also, the peaked deck
: really sheds water quickly, something I've noticed doesn't happen on the
: flat deck of my Yost Sea Rider when the bow sticks into 2' wind chop.
