Thanks Rick, good info.
So from a performance only perspective.
Upwind, lower overall height reduces wind resistance
Light air, weight savings reduces wetted surface overall as opposed to somewhat higher wetter surface of the section...
You mention that a three panel optimized will be shorter than a half round... wouldn't this knock some points off the top end?
I can see some weight saving from floors and lower structure but a shorter hull runs counter to overall performance. Maybe I'm missing somethin.
