Are you saying the lack of 'balanced ends' doesn't make boat round up
when heeled?

boat, even steer it, though I'm sure this would be quite an adventure,
especially in strong winds!

Now the question is, if the hull form itself causes a very strong round

up and the wind was very strong could one achieve balance her by the
hull with no rudder?
