i think explorious will suffer when waves hit her.
if there is wind there are waves too.
but it is very nice for protected but windy areas.

Hi all,

I just read this thread, and I think that even when the wings give enough lift to raise the body from the water and enough and would compensate for the lack of ballast, the boat is still inherently dangerous.. If the bow hits a wave it will for sure dug in deep...

Grtz,
Arvy
