Very nice boat Darryl! Have you tested it much yet?

To the person comparing a Tornado to the F14, especially regarding the bow height, please remember that you have two men almost 20' from the bow of that boat which gives you a whole lot more leverage than a single person only 14' away. Especially considering the F14 is aimed at lighter crews. The heavier guys would likely be on an I17. We'd like to see the F14 class be able to cater to women and children as well as the rest of us, and are designing accordingly. I'm doing everything I can think of to keep this little boat of mine from ever wanting to pitchpole.

Shouldn't the Capricorn be slower than other boats in it's class, as it also has a lot of rocker in the stern while many other boats in it's class don't. Instead, it's kicking butt and taking names. However... I'm working on a drawing that will reduce the aft rocker to 6" instead of 12" by having the deck drop by 6" after the rear beam... I'll be posting a new drawing tomorrow (Wednesday)
