Thanks. I know we add drag if it is seriously stuffed, but there is a decent amount of hull forward of the bridle mounts so hopefully that will be a rare event. It will be an odd looking setup compared to current boats, but as long as it is fast I can handle it. Hull volume vs. total weight will be another interesting factor...
the HT hulls are relatively narrow- esp at the rear end. The guy who owns my old HT is 230 and when he goes to the back of the boat to deal with the rudders the entire transom goes under the water, even over the ports <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" /> .
of course that is when most of the weight as at the corner though...
