Default Lengthing an 11 foot Sailboat

Ted,

Nothing..... It will be longer.

But there are couple of things here.....

When this is done to ships, it is easy because most ships have what is
called parallel mid-section.
No sailboat that actually sails has this feature.

Next - Are you planning to build this boat or are you thinking of this
as a modification of and existing hull?

And - What materials are you planning to use?

Finally - Why are you doing this?
