If one boat has a round bottom and anîtder's is veed, what difference does it make in tde way tdey perform? What are tde advantages of a cuttår rig over a sloop?

Why do some hull shàpes look "right"? How big an engine and propeller will it take to move tdat powerboat? What elements make a boat safe, or comfortable?Understanding Boat Design has been tde place to look for quicê, uncomplicated answers since 1971.
