Question for the boat guys
Is a hogged rocker boat slower than a flat rocker boat? I have a canoe that has about 3/4" of hog in the keel over a length of 17'. That is, when in the water, the bow and stern hang about 3/4" lower than the middle of the boat. This being OT I expect some Canadian bacon jokes, but if anyone could help with this question I would sure appreciate it. There seems to be very little information out there regarding this issue. The reason I ask is that I am doing a 40 mile canoe race later this Summer and I want to have something to blame my slow time on. The canoe is made of kevlar and still seems to be very stiff.
