Dear Wouter,

Just for Mary, Oryx Quest Boats and Orange II show 8 to 10 feet high bow, so shouldn't certainly be called "wavepiercers"...

Very interesting Wouter's reply about Taïpan 4.9 and Blade. However, I'm simply wondering if volume balance is still sufficient for explaining hull diving sickness.

Obviously, huge transoms combined with fine bow entries always lead to severe pitchpoling...but too narrow transoms lead to "rocking chair" syndrome !!! I think that Wouter is somehow right about volume distribution, tension in hull lines is important for quick reaction of Archimedian forces at hull tips.


Best Regards,
Frenchie
