extending the hulls on a 32

Post by doubledutch »

It seems to me the 32 would benefit greatly from a little hull length to get the sterns out of the water. Has anyone else done this?
Possibly one of the ex PDQ workers would be able to make up a nice set of add on extensions? My boat is within an hour of Whitby if anyone is interested.

I think it would help, especially when cruising with a serious payload.

Here are a couple links describing similar projects on boats about our size. The article about Katie Kat is particularly good.
