The boat looks as though it is riding pretty flat to me . With 3m
swell I am assuming the bow will simply punch into it and gently rise
without any violent hobby horsing. The flat ride should keep the sails
working better than with violent motion of a flared bow bouncing off
waves I can't think of any small boat that would not be pretty wet in
the same circumstances. The braces are designed to take the loads of
the rudders. Shock loads from the braces hitting the top of the wave
is nothing compared to loads from the rudders,
