It looks slow in the light stuff, very flat, stable sections and very little rocker and if only 12 foot long it would drag its transom.  Has anybody got a similar veiw of a Bethwaite boat, I suspect they are flatter and broader at the stern and more veed around the case and forward.

Yep mine is a Cherub (surprise surprise)

Yes, when it's level the transom digs in by about 35 - 40mm but if you get the weight forward onto the mast beam the transom does lift clear.  It is also only 800mm wide on the waterline which should help keep it moving!

Bethwaite boats are much more veed forward.  The 29er is a bit wider at the chines and the curvature at the transom is much more of a circular arc than mine.

 

Isis' might be a 6ft skiff... taking dragging transoms to new levels!

looks short and stubby. not particularly fast upwind and you need a bag for a big enough kite downwind. what program are you using to draw those?
