On
another page, I mention the importance of balance in
design.
These photos illustrate some of these design features.
A
2005 boat
in custom colours.
1. Coming straight towards us on a full plane, showing the wide flare
at the bow.
This flare helps to keep the boat dry.
2. You can see the lifting strakes are pushing the spray away from the
boat, giving
more lift.
3. Clearly showing how the Shoreline leans into a turn. Turns are
stable.

5. Coming up on a plane, showing lifting strakes
6. As you can see, the Shoreline14 rides level on a full plane.
In fact, this photo shows the whole chine. You can seehow the lifting
pad
raises the whole boat, reducing fuel consumption.
In development, I paid a lot of attention to the hull shape so as to
improve fuel efficiency.
