Stem

I agree strongly on the ww bow. A spray rail might help as might a wave piercing addition such as on http://www.marlinbr

That is what I was thinking, but extra work at this stage

It looks a very nice balance to me as is

Can you explain why the canting makes such a difference. It would be nice to have that extra security in case of a knockdown.
Appreciate you getting those sea miles for working out what works and what's needed
