I wasn't thinking of just the hull form. As you know, Malcolm, there 
is a heckuva lot more to a successful boat: Systems, engineering, 
systems, fit and finish, systems, comfort, safety, and the thickness 
of the cushions in the berths, and how much space there is when you 
sit down in the head, and then even more systems.
