Re: hydrodynamic fairing?

The fairing will be full of water and will be moving up and down with the waves, often quickly. This means the fairing will need to be stronger than the hull, since it will be lifted full of water (it wont drain that fast). The boat will also pitch like a boat with bow and stern crash tanks flooded.


Thus, it will cost more to build and sail worse than with fixed bow and stern sections. I know you don't want negative input, but your not bringing anything we can understand. Build a small model. Something.
