I've sailed aboard several Roberts designed boats, even been on a
traweler of his design.

That model, never...but Bruce designs nice steel kits.... and the guy
was asking for 35 ft cruisers.

If he were to use a ball hammer and dimple his hull like I did, he can
get the 35A up to 13 maybe 15 knots.

can you really round things off with a hammer? doesen't that weaken
the joint?
