The implications of strengthening any one area
of a boat always fascinates me. Even a muddling amateur like me can so
lots of interesting tradeoffs and choices......
Something that puzzles me is that
designing a sailboat to go faster seems to be the goal for
most designers. But I've wondered if that is because buyers want
more speed or because designing to known formulas for speed is easier than
designing for all the unknowns of cruising?

There is little compromise possible in a HP design I am afraid. But that is good to know and let that feature out of the SOR for a cruising HP.
