Just
google scow bows, plenty of modern flat bottom yachts come up.
I once sailed on a Benford 36’ junk rigged dory in a
wind over tide situation at the northern end of Moreton bay. Nothing serious, maybe a meter chop but the dory was heeled over sailing and presenting a V to the
water. An occasional wave would slap the bottom but not enough to stop us. I was hanging my
head over the side observing for a fair while. The peformance was good enough to convince me to build a flat bottom
plywood multichine yacht. You can check her out on
fore and aft surveyors volkscruiser link. The only issue we really have is at
anchor on a choppy day the bow does slap. Still if that’s the cost of having 700mm
draft I can live with that.
Cheers
