what is your design criterion for volume of the lw hull? i assume it is substantially more than 100% displacement of the whole boat.
i ask because i wonder whether it might be beneficial to have it <=100%, so that one could never fly the ww hull. impossible to flip sideways then, and a good indicator of when you're pushing it too hard.
weta floats work like this. <100% and wave piercing. surprising how difficult it is to flip them, though it does happen.
