Patuxent modifications.

I wanted to say thanks to all who helped me out with my winding problem. I have read most of the posting and they contain a wealth of information. One question that I have goes out to any other speed demons out there.

Has anyone made any minor modifications (Patuxent 19.5) to their kits that improve the hull speed. Found graphite mixed with epoxy option very interesting. I also recall a conversation with a builder aways back about adjusting the rear camber by a few degrees.

If anyone has played around in this area could they post their results to me? Interested in that and any feedback on the Patuxent 19.5 Thanks...
