    Taken to the n-th degree, any hull can be built of developed surfaces, but they might be extremely small surfaces.

    To answer the question, however, I believe "Slingshot" was hard-chine, and could be counted on to be developable surfaces. Certainly most foil-borne boats are supported on basically prismatic foils, which would be developable, although that was not the question :)
