Those guys are freakin' brainiacs) and a masters from MIT doesn't know anything about hull form, stability or seaworthiness. Got it.
It looks to me like you're say'in I don't have the knowledge to criticize this guy. Fair enough. I couldn't even spell criticize (there I go again). I'm say'in what I think and what I may know. Regarding my comments on the GH boats I don't think I said anything wrong or untruthful. Flat bottomed boats pound and deep sharp chines trip boats into capsizing. I'll retract anything that was incorrect or out of line in any other way.

I'm not writing a doctorate here on TF. This is just opinions and discussion and of course fact when it appears. Have you ever criticized the president?

And notice that I didn't criticize the designer ... just the boat.
