    Great observation! I agree about the outer strake. The hull resembles the Formula 233. I was interested to see the longer lifting strake. It looks to be about 18 - 24" before the transom.

    233's are being built out here still, by a mob called Edencraft boats, heavy as all buggery, and outboard powered on pods.

    There was also another boat here, that had the 233 genes, no longer made, a 25 footer called a Haines 773, interestingly had a runner plank, but an exceptional offshore boat.

    Thanks! I will check these boats out to see how a great design has been adapted.
