I have often wondered why cat designers have not payed more attention to Dolphins in their design ideas. These animals must have wonderful hydrodynamic shape. I have sailed at ten knotts and had a dolphin pacing me a metre off my bow for several ks and not even look like its tail is moving. Their energy to speed level is legendry. I have thought the Flyer is almost there but make the beak shape low and still the rising hull. I also think a more radical attitude to the rear of the boat being a planing surface is important.
As to looks. ?????
