I like thinking about the laps as spray rails, it added another dimension to what I thought of as simply a nod to tradition.<br /><br />On the matter of fine entry + flare I would like to make an observation - is this discussion of fine entry and flare dependent on hull type? I am thinking of flat bottomed sharpie hulls in particular. These hulls often have nearly plum or vertical sides, but are designed to be sailed with a fair amount of heel, thus introducing a degree of flare. Also, the most successful sharpies have a fair amount of rocker in their flat bottoms, this means that more often than not they carry their stems at or above the waterline. I think that Bolger's Black Skimmer is an excellent example.<br /><br />Are the needs for flare and fine entry different between say, displacement hulls versus planing hulls, or between boats that are designed to be sailed fairly flat versus those with a little heel?<br /><br />cheers,<br /><br />Grahamgrahamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07717865084593786716noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8638765920957629245.post-1525321797802300202011-04-25T04:47:19.949+10:002011-04-25T04:47:19.949+10:00Thanks for your insightful comments, Ross.
