There is a rumour that Patrick Cunningham has brought his P7 "Little Red Number" into the garage for some modifications. Apparently he is cutting a chunk off the back end of the boat and adding some length to the bow, with the net effect of bringing the centre of buoyancy aft and creating a finer angle of entry. Nice idea, if you're brave enough......

True but at the speed Patrick is going it would be quicker to leave the boat vertically and let the resin move to the transom in the way old glass is thicker at the bottom than the top.
Sorry Patrick

The Squid banged too many corners on design really I think.

JimC, can you expand on this? id really like to have a good nose around her and her design philosophy.
Thanks
