: I had been thinking about this kind of shape for a while. I ended up building
myself in a minor way too, after seeing a seakayaker article some time ago about a guy in a real long kayak (19'?)going around the arctic somewhere but w/ a slanted cut off inset rear end doing something like this.
there are always tradeoffs - too bad. like they don't go backward so well, and i wonder what happens in a following sea each time the wave catches up.
i saw your posted design musings, but the real thing just looks great.
