There are many details I like about it. One of them is that there are no gimmicks or quirks about the hull form \u2014 no bumps or chines. The builder decided from the beginning that he wanted a boat that can consistently sail between 10 and 12 knots. To do that, you have to have a hull form that wasn\u2019t going to get too voluminous or too splashy in different kinds of seaways, and stay true to it.&#8221;<\/p><div id=\"bonnier-ads-middle-3-ad\"
