: That Sea Dart looks like it should be a fast boat, with the long water line
: and multi-chines. I'm planning to do a Yost boat after I finish my
: Shearwater hybrid, with narrower and faster being the current goal. Had
: been looking at the Sea Ranger LC or ST, as the designs with very little
: freeboard don't appeal. But, one of the builders had commented that it was
: not particularly fast. I continue reading any user comments I can find, to
: get further impressions of the designs.

I've got a long Sea Ranger, actually cut the gunwales over long and decided that I liked the look so left them long and it seems quite fast. It's not real stable though at 19" wide. Hoping I can relax a little more in the Sea Dart and have room to move around a bit on all day trips. Also planning on doing it radius chine, basically a stripped round chine, doing a prototype now on the highly modified Sea Bee that I've been playing with since last fall. Ready to glass the strips, hopefully today.
