Looks nice Nick. It looks like it will have a fairly low Cp. Making the ends somewhat fuller might give it faster high-speed potential and more volume for lifting over waves. However, it will should be a nice boat as it is.
: Well, I've tried my best to come up with a boat that I thought would
: incorporate all the things I'm looking for in a design, and would like to
: submit what I have so far here for a sort of peer review, if you will (the
: question of "what boat should I build!?!?!" was about to drive
: me nuts. Thanks go to Ross Leidy, Joe Greenley, and others for their
: excellent input in that department, though). I decided to design my own
: because I wanted the satisfaction of building and paddling a boat that was
: entirely my own. Also, because I'm unable to satisfy my building and
: paddling urges at the moment, I found that contemplating my own design at
: least helped quell them a bit. Any criticisms or input anyone is willing
: to give are very welcome (how often do you get an opportunity to flame
: like that!!).: Thanks, Nick
