the unique look is more that the top of the deck is angled downward. Bimare did that on the 18HT as well - it had a very similar look of the bow but I believe the leading edge of the bow was plumb. Personally, the upper deck makes it look like it's trying to dive downward...but I can see how it would reduce some of the windage up front. Even though the Nacra and the Capricorn have reverse canted bows, I believe their bows are substantially taller. On my '04 Nacra with the plumb bow, the bow is considerably taller than my 6.0NA bows were.
