In Response To: Strip: Design critic please *LINK* (Kudzu)

It looks like a beautiful design. I would think that the initial stability would be low due to the V bottom. If you wanted more initial stability you could flatten out the bottom of the hull a bit. The secondary stability looks like it would be good with the sides of the hull flaring out. I would think from the drawing that it would also have good maneuverability. You could easily add more tracking by adding to the stern keeline, if thats what you want. Looks nice.
