: If a boat designed for heavy construction is reproduced as an
: ultra-light skin boat it will not float on its intended marks
: and may well become unstable, because its CoG is far higher and
: its waterline beam is less than designed.

Very good point. That boat looks pretty unstable at any mark. I wonder if the original design was a trimaran?
