–When Paddling up Wind you Exert Less force to Drive the Boat Forward through the Waves , not up and over.
•Increased Wetted Surface Area “Down Wind”
–Allows
the Boat to Hold more of the Wave increasing the water line and thus Hull Speed and Stability
Increased Maneuverability
The raised and tapered stern at the end of the hull provides a much sharper turning ability
when rudder forces are applied. The raised stern sweeps the surface of the water as apposed to the pushing
that occurs with boats that have less rocker. Paddling close to the shore requires more turning and this boat
allows you to get in close and tight.When running with the waves the extended stern section helps keep the back of the boat
behind you and in control.
The forward cockpit location provides better vision and increse mechanical advantage when rudder
forces are applied. Not only will you see up coming obstructions but you will have a clear view of incoming wave
sets. The forward cockpit is the key to an exciting paddling experience.
