What an ugly thing! What has boat design come to.

[@UniversalYachting]

New hull designs stem from the quest for fast comfortable sailing. Unlike traditional rounded hulls these hulls feature distinctive chines which offer greater form stability and in conjunction with the keel help keep the boat upright. Typically these yachts sail at 18 degrees meaning everything becomes more efficient. The rudder stays in the water, the sails more open to the wind and at 18 degrees everyone is more relaxed and can move around the boat more easily. You only have to look at modern racing yachts to appreciate that these hull shapes offer fast sailing and so to bring them into the cruising market naturally offers many advantages now to the cruising sailor. Moreover, the hull design yields more interior volume, allowing interior designers to craft spacious and remarkable living areas compared to the constrained spaces offered by rounded hulls of the past decade. Consequently, owners can enjoy fast comfortable sailing with more room for guests in a much smaller yacht than years gone by. These hulls stand out due to their distinctiveness but they do offer numerous advantages that appeal to a variety of sailing enthusiasts.

Thank you for your explanation. I worked in yacht sales for over 40 years starting in the 1960ies when yachts still looked like yachts. I am glad I am long since retired.
