    You could consider making it a four-pointer with sponsons on the stern. That configuration has often worked well.

    why are you so hooked on steps for ?? they are not the answer to going fast !!
    make everything with steps put steps every where even on deck to reduce wind friction . with everything that been posted you have completely and totally missed the point of it all thats been said ,completely !!! i guess the spoon was not big enough maybe a shovel would have been better :eek:
