Being a hardcore dutch beach sailer and reading about the new F16 from nacra, I wonder if these narrow, pointy hull bows work at sea.

When I was shaping the hulls of my beachcat for max. comfort, it looked like the impossible combination of sharp (for speed), but volumineus (anti diving) and enough rocker (for riding the waves) and this magic distribution of the volume over its length.

See how it worked out in my case:
