Over the years we have noticed a tremendous difference in how different boats feel in seaway. We have had a boat that sometimes almost made us feel like we were sitting on a bull that was trying to throw us off and we have had boats that have such an easy motion that it made us wonder why we felt so little effect from the rough seas around us. And a bunch of boats in between these extremes of course. What we have found is that a boat does not have to be heavy to be comfortable in seaway. And that opens great possibilities for Fast and Seakind cruising… On the ‘publications’ tab is an article that I wrote on this subject “Bootgevoel” (in dutch) and a manifest on Performance cruising by Rod Johnston (designer of J-boats) explaining the same thinking.
