    The wet ride I can believe, standman, whenever that plumb bow dips into waves, not something that would suit passengers in an open cockpit.

    It's not bad at all. Wind has to be strong and coming from 10 or 2 o'clock position.
    Uploaded video just now.

    Tonipu, if you do start to build your boat, please do keep this thread updated with your construction progress.
    And include lots of photos along the way!

    But what are the results of all the towing tests you are doing? Could we see them and analyze the results with you and, if possible, also learn from those tests?. Because, frankly, the videos indicate very little, or do they?

    What is the point you use to "push" the boat? Is the "arm" that pushes the boat stiff? How have you ensured that the towing conditions are the same in all the tests?
    Regarding trim, what device do you use to measure it? The "naked eye" assessment cannot be rigorous. The conditions of the towing boat, were they the same in all cases? There are many questions that would like to know so that we can discuss the results with you and give them reliability or not.

    the arm is not stiff it is of nylon
