    From my point of view they designed the bow section like they did mostly for the same reason as the state on their website "modern, stylish and in tune with the time" probably with a little "racy, sporty" touch. I guess the overhanged deck/ bow sprit which you would call "saw bow" has not only aesthetics as reason but also to increase deck area and prevent spray on deck.

    I'm thinking its supposed to be wave piercing and energy/speed saving in chop, and of course the spray defector/deck space.

    I can't get any of the "technical details" to open or download.
