: You sound like your taste is similar to mine. I love the flat deck
: on my Curlew. There is just something about the look of it.

: More vertical ends mean a longer water line and a higher hull
: speed. But you have to be strong enough to take advantage of it
: and I suspect the difference in the same boat would be so small
: you wouldn't be able to tell any difference. As for being wetter
: I have no experience there but I suspect how much flair it has
: would be more important than the the angle. In a powerboat that
: flair will deflect the spray and I would suspect the same would
: apply here.

: I just finished up my first multi-chined design, Long Shot, and I
: am totally impressed with the rounded chines. When I designed it
: I worked to keep the resistance low and still maintain the
: stability. I found a big improvement when I went from hard to
: rounded chines. So far I am very impressed with this boat. So if
: it were me I would probably go with rounded chines.

I really like the bow and stern on this design. Great work.
