: With feets in the hulls, isn't leg position going to be a limiting factor on
: width?

: Glad the potential for efficiency is there.

Yep, already figured that one out, that the feet can't be in the hulls anymore. It's fairly complicated doing that so it's not the end of the world :)

There is a center "pod" to keep waves from reaching you sitting in the seat, so feet will be in the center of the pod. Kinda like a surf-ski.

Btw, I've already got the next boat partially drawn, did some of the modeling on Ross's kayak foundry software, this one has roughly 1/2 the drag of the cat :) I'm not talking nor showing pix of that one yet.
