Thanks for posting the picture Chris...I am a little surprised at the narrow width of the bows... with the volume of the bows being the deciding factor on how hard a cat can be pushed, what determines the height of the rig, etc...Wouldn't it be beneficial to increase the width of the individual hull slightly (to increase hull volume) in the forward area instead of it being such a wedge shape? Looking at the profile and plan shapes together it seems you have a very balanced volume flow from bow to stern...I take it you feel this is of greater benefit than having increasing buoyancy as you move towards the bow. Could you explain your reasoning?

Best Regards,
Bob
