I'm not really sure, but something about the strips being held together by scrim and placed under vacuum flat before being forced into the curve....
The reason that was said is that SF bay is very windy and rough and the boat is very lightly built. It was built for Puget Sound and Great Lakes...
I liked the last couple of trimaran postings. I have such a hard time with the condo-cats. Not totally sure why, but I've got some kind of bug up...

Were my experiences with self-righting any help? We sail is pretty wild conditions here sometimes. These videos's don't show when it gets really...
