Dear all,

Clearly, wavepiercer boats are coming out from behind the "A-Class scene" and expand on F20 with Ventilo Pulso and F28 with Ventilo M2...

That trend seems to look like a "fashion-victim" slavery...for naval architects. Indded, the wavepiercers work well on A-Class...but mainly because waterplane loads and propulsive diving moments ( pitch ) are low...

How could you simply imagine F18 or NACRA's heavily loaded boats on waterplane and bows ( by weight and propulsion ) running without generous bows to secure the ride ?

Even C-Class, 770 pound with crew, so light for a 25ft waterline couldn't stand their huge propulsive drive force without a 1.66 ft high bow at least !!!! ( Ask Duncan Mc Lane )

So, there's certainly someone who's wrong !
