Without starting a knock-out, drag-down war of egos here, could some of the other designers who frequent this site help 'interpret' the forms? I would just like a bit of a comparison of more macroscopic traits, like tracking, stability, maneuverability/edge-ability, etc., with some of the other popular designs...

What my novice eye sees in the curves:

Low-volume concave bow, lending to the smaller bow wave George talked about -- but could be a wet ride in big waves...?

A fair amount of rocker -- akin to the Guillemot? Along with a raised, rounded stern, seems to favor maneuverability to tracking.
