Hull Flexing

4 thou. measured on the back of a boat? Complete BS. "The Captain...cap n all" wrote: I would have thought so. AFAIK there was no reason to BS about it, the boat was a one-off and paid for. If I am interpreting the article about the boat correctly, the distortion was measured at the mid length along a straight from stem to center transom. If one is installing high powered hydraulics to control the rig, it makes sense to make the hull & deck structure as rigid as possible, within reasonable weight limits. I haven't seen any figures for the distortion measured on the newest IACC boats but the early 1990s boats had very high rig loads (10K kg and up) and very little (if any) distortion.
