I recently sailed in the Australian Hobie Nationals and a boats dolphon striker started to crack big time. But the thing is when they were putting it on after their 4 hour drive to get it, a guy there talked about hull alignment and i was wondering how critical is it to have them completly square. I heard that a guy cut down his front beam so he can point higher and even though he got kicked out it made me wonder. It shouldn't matter that it is square because if your sailing a 16 properly the hull should only be just skimming. Is this right or have i just gone right past it.
