Am I the only one that sees the Pink Elephant in the room?
Did I miss something? I thought the whole idea of this thread was drag reduction...how in the world does putting a huge square box under the tramp reduce drag? What happens when that thing chokes on a big piece of chop? All this tweaking and redesigning of hull shape to make for the least resistance forward...then put something under the tramp that looks like it would stop the boat dead when sailing into steep chop/waves. Maybe the picture makes it look bigger than it actually is ...but at first glance this system looks like it would create more problems than it solves.
