Rolling over is what worries me more than going a ground. Boats with round/soft chimes tend to roll and sustain more damage than the actual grounding. ...
PF, I would be interested to see some clear pics of what you are doing. Is there a NA involved? I think what you are doing would be a good thing and would consider doing the same. It seems to me that it would really help with roll and since we always travel about 1 knot below hull speed I don't think it would hurt us performance or economy wise.
