Looking good, Paul.

I've wondered about how well the 'chine runners' work, when compared to nothing - did your boat always have them, or did you add them?

Very nice looking boat. There was one that went all the way in the Texas 200 this year so that can do a lot

The boat was built with chine runners.  I have not had the chance to sail it to see if they work.
