Cheap Shot MC,

Maybe, just maybe, if that POS the Kiwi's used to defend the Am Cup had
a Canoe Stern it might has kept the stern wave out of the Cockpit (
Another cheap shot,sorry)

Doug, what makes the canoe stern stronger than a flat keel? The stern
stem? The longer keel? the bent over hanging shape? Is the strength
necessary? So many sailboats are built minus sterns. Are you sure the
strength holds up for Fibreglas? ( All leading questions)

I spoke to Pedersen about the Canoe Stern. He replied; "The only thing a
pointy stern is good for is going backwards!"

I spoke of Pooping and he was quite ready to point out on a 1/4 sea the
square stern was far better. He also pointed out most hulls with
"Hogging problems" were double enders.

Why don't both of YOUSE GUY ease up?
