A look at the above site shows a later creation with leeboards. I have seen
similar chine runners on ocean going tankers. I have a difficult time
seeing them being very effective going upwind.

Regarding Paradox, I too have often wondered about these somewhat
Bolgeresque boats, and what Bolger would think of them. The photo I see
online almost looks like a widened, decked over June Bug (do ya think?).
Links to sketches show it to be pretty much square in section, with external
chine logs.

Matt Layden is the designer of this series of the chine runner boats and
here is the site featuring Paradox. The fellow has racked up some impressive
sea miles. Perhaps worth a serious look?

This part of the site has other chine runner boats on it by the same bloke.
