Stewart,
I make no apologies for the Blade being a wave piercer.
It is.
It was designed through literally hundreds of hours of building and testing. Possibly Sam can design a boat on the back of a coatser or rip it off a photograph but I can't.
Build, test, change, build and test.
At least only having to build and test 1/4 size models leading up to the full size prototype helped a bit.
Sam,
Once again I would like to thank you for your constructive input.
