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?

MC,

You reasoning is becoming very myopic.

A canoe stern is a very good and inexpensive way of increasing hull
length. increasing stern bouyancy, extending the length of the standing
rigging, increasing tracking ability, increasing the distance of the
helm thereby increasing cockpit space, easing helm pressure in a
following sea.

These are some of the thing all sailors know. Lifeboats, Rescue Vessels,
most work boats in rough work areas are double-ended. There is a reason
and you know the reason. I'm not sure of Jax but I know you do. Don't
act stupid to make a point

Give it up!

MC

Worry about taking on water

Isn't that a "Benefit!"

Jax,

A very stupid point connecting planks

They were building boats long before they had planks. Dug-out canoes
didn't need to connect planks. Reed boat didn't use planks. They did
have pointy ends or round.

Guys; See the big picture, not just your point of view

A single joint in most cases and no aggressive profile to a following sea. It's
inherently stronger both in design and by nature of it's function.

A bad following sea can shove a square stern out of it's riding position and is
more likely to pitchpole.

More likely to pitch pole

Nutsy,
Do you have anything to back up a statement like that, other than what
you think your imaginary friend would say?
I'm asking YOU to prove that statement?
