[quote=samc99us]The C2 is a little flat forward and tends to get beat up in chop and the light stuff as a result. The fatter daggerboards were also a contributing factor. Still, they are solid boats in most conditions. Have a nasty pitchpole mode though, especially if the crew doesn't stay back! The Viper is similar in that aspect as in both cases the volume falls away quickly forward of the front beam as the hull submerge. To me the Scorpion is the best blend of the Infusion and C2 hull shapes (well really Phantom hull shape) going. Round forward and low drag in the light but she gets up and is a rocketship in breeze.
What surprises me the most is the C-Cats didn't take this development path, generally sticking with very skinny hulls. Well I should say until Groupama C which is also very flat aft which I think helps to get up on foils more quickly.[/quote]
