: I re-read Jay's post, and it looks like I'm in over my head. I made the
: hard-chine statement based on my own experience with the Merganser, and
: based on a statement I was given about hard chine designs from another
: well known kayak designer. Jay stated that the semi circle is the most
: efficient shape. Your point is well taken, as there are too many variables
: in design.

If you get a chance, try a K1 sometime, super efficient shape that's really tricky to keep upright :)

Very slightly less tippy than a semi-circle hull shape.
