: Re-curve near the stems is a classic design element which improves
: tracking, creating fine stem edges to cut the water cleanly.

: Henry Rushton's Wee Lassie design has this feature, but many modern
: "Wee Lassie"
: versions have removed this detail to simplify stripping.

: My version of Rushton's design, my Wee Robbie has this feature and
: tracks incredibly
: well for a short wide boat.

: Here's a photo of my Wee Two with obvious re-curve at the stem.
: Another short boat 12' 6" that tracks well.
