There was a resized Jupiter here.
There was a resized Hal Kelly - Jupiter here in D and everyone assumed it was a variant of the Hall Kelly - Ben Hur. It was that Hal Kelly look. Many of the other boats designs and thoughts were exactly yours in date era and time here to in those comparissons. I had a "Wetcback" here that was a D sized, made from marine grade fir plywood, without that bottom hook and went from a center fin to a sponson fin and it handled quite well as you say one probably would. The owner builder was going to make a mahogany version of it as a result but was killed in an auto accident a short time later, so that never happened and no one else went that direction either.
The Avatar - I don't look gift horses in the mouth
The making of the avatar was a freebe done for me by a board administrator as a kind favor. Smitty! You too can have one. I can't seem to take the time to do something for me that often, so I accepted the offer garciously to the provider. Thanks Jeff!! again :)
Ummm ... another dumb question ... help me here ...
:confused: What exactly is the diference between a "rocker" and a
S". Can someone draw me a picture of how the bottoms would be different?
