Hull Profile

On hoist

Bulbs on the leading edge of each hull. By some aquatic engineering marvel that I don't understand, this makes the hull more efficient. It also acts like a cod-piece and informs others just what we're packing.

Rudder aft of the saildrive. The rudder extends lower than the saildrive which means that the rudder will ground first.

The saildrive. This is like the lower leg of an outboard except there is a whole diesel engine driving it. The grey collar is the zinc anode.

Aft view. The guy with the hammer is not a disgruntled stink-boat owner. That's our surveyor checking the hull for nasties.
