spray deflectors , which will also give lift to the bow , which will allow boat to be driven harder in waves and big winds ,
nuthing new , shearwaters had em years ago and many others , just looked different then , but same principle

might be new they are on a mono , but prob been done before too .

Imagine how good a winged keel would be on that boat with one wing in water vertically , if you made wings adjustable you could create down force too , at least there would be no need for other boards .

if wings were adjustable and down force created you could ditch some lead outa the bulb.



At the price of added drag.

The strakes are to provide lift on the bow...just like those bolt on bow planes you can buy for the Hobie 16.
