: I race against surfski's which are usually 21'. I lose 2 or 3 boat
: lengths whenever the course does a 180 degree turn around a
: buoy. Otherwise the speed is reasonably close. Surfskis have
: 2" to 4" of rocker.

: To be fair Nick has always advised it is a good straight line boat
: and will suffer at mark roundings but I sure wish it had some
: rocker. It seems even flat water boats K1's etc. have at least a
: bit.

: Only one E18 has been built so far. I think it's posted on the
: BlueHeron site.

: Paul

Can always be leaned to gain rocker.
