Getting down to the dinghy? You might be interested in my solution, but if
you're talking about nesting dinks then you probably want something that
will take up less deck space than what I'm working on.

Rounding off the chines will knock initial stability down. But you can lose
a little weight and drag, too.

I had to design my own dinghy from scratch, it's hard to believe but I could
not find a set of lines I liked for initial stability & good rowing
characteristics. After a lot of study of small boat hull shape, I think it's
close enough to right that we are going to gamble a chunk of money on
building it in carbon fiber. And it's going to be really really pretty.
