: While learning it you might also check the michlet which is a bit difficult
: but will give you good info about speed. I guess that's the main goal for
: this hull. You might even found some improvement for the hull shape to get
: it little faster (and a lot tippier).

I agree Toni but my progress is slow with the Freeship so far and it will be a while before I can consider running Michlet numbers. I have mixed feelings about this having a foot in each camp. I will learn a lot from the computer generated information but I am also enjoying the learning process working with the local carver. Both are getting to the same conclusions but with different approaches. I only wish that I already posessed your dexterity with the computer modeling so I could validate the traditional information.

Anyway it is all fun and interesting right now.

Best,

Reg
