Not sure why I was down voted, is it well known that the common tapered hull shape is not any more efficient and faster than a squared off hull?
I didn't see any details in the article or website about the design other than that it was designed to pitch rather than roll, and tapering the front seems like it would just add to this effect.
I wish the downvoter had just said "Dumb question, everyone knows that hull shape doesn't matter on a small boat" or "He covered this exact question on his website" or given some indication why they felt this was not an appropriate question

That man is a professional sailor, and you know nothing about boats. I think that people don't like when a person who knows nothing decides that they know better. > Not sure why I was down voted...I wish the downvoter had... Please don't do this.
