The boat started out with a flat keel line. I think over the years it became hogged because of the paddler at each end of the boat weighing it down. The ends don't have a lot of buoancy compared to the middle so maybe that's why it gave there.
I can't see any good reason for a hogged keel line, although it may give some directional stability in a cross-tailwind. I just can't visualize how it slows the boat down but I think it must.
Thanks guys
