Grant:

Thank you for the post. i will definitely be trying this with a yak of my own design. Perhaps a multipanel, multichine hull. I still need to get some matteboard modelling done for your Cormorant to try the deck panels out.

Regards and thanks again. very valuable contribution. i had been wondering what you had used.
