prototype planing under motor 1
Apart from testing the rig, we ran the boat under power to look more closely at its extraordinary performance with such a small outboard. This shot dramatically demonstrates the hull's low-drag characteristics. With 15 h.p. generating 16 knots of speed the hull creates the standard rooster tail astern, but almost no bow-wave or quarter wave. This in turn helps to explain how it achieves its speed with such a small power input.
