In Response To: V-hull or not (Jay Babina)

Thanks Jay. I'd be happy with a bit of extra primary stability too, and I'm going flatter bottomed than my last one so that's all good.

I'm also happy with it going a little slower, speed is not a significant design goal.

I'm also sure you're right that a good paddler will paddle anything well - but some of us need all the help we can get ;-)
