Default Re: VDH Hull on Sailfish Boats

Yes, you don't know anything about hull design.I am not a marine designer either,however,I have been a licensed (100 ton )Captain since 1979 and driven everything from SeaCraft's to million dollar Merritt's from Maine to Key West,the Bahamas,Mexico and Carribean for a living.And I'm here to tell ya' that when you put the pointy end of any boat into a sea the strake creates lift and air under the hull so that when you drop back off the sea you don't pound.Again,that's why they are there.
