It looks like a dead ringer for the cape charles except for just slightly less bow 'stem' curvature. (This could easily get lost in the shuffle as many were built just from the book and shortcuts (heh heh) would happen during the process.) The hatches, line layout, front and rear deck hts all look same as the book.

As for handling - its a boxyak - but a rudder is mentioned would help. If there are aspects you really don't like, get out the saw, add a little wood, glass and red paint finish - and who's to know or care?
