Not sure how much he understands about sailboat design though. Looking at his drawing it would seem to me the boat would just blow sideways with little lateral resistance to help it go forward. Maybe it might help with considerable ballast added and chine runners shortened. Large rudder added. Maybe a potential AiT challenger Nels
Thanks Guys, I suppose it's cool that people are taking note of my weird little boat on another forum. My only real defense (aside from the side mounted cannons) will be it's performance on launch day in the spring. Don't tell anyone but, It doesn't have a bottom yet... Chris
