Re: Pound
We were sleeping in the cockpit of our Chebacco two nights ago when
ripples started slapping the bottom in the bow. Moving the anchor
line to the stern stopped the noise. This was the first time I
tried this. When we sleep two in the cabin it's not usually a big
issue as the bow is pushed down and the exposed bottom is smaller.

The Esther Mae is frequently rafted up, and anchored stern to. This
eliminates the waves from slapping under the long, ever so slightly
rockered, bow. And since the current sleeping accommodations are in the
bow, it is a long night when done otherwise.

Ah the beauty of Mr Bolger's design genius.
In a single word, no.
But there is, as always, exception.
Let me explain.
The cutwater does exactly that and cuts or splits the water so there is only
a slight foaming noise. The water/foam that is pushed aside runs back and is
caught under the sponsons. They ride up on that light water cushion without
noise. This is what gives Microtrawler such a soft ride. To me it's a magic
carpet ride.
Exceptions,
--- If at slow speed you ride over a steep wake and the boat rises enough,
then when it comes down there is a slap under the sponsons as the "foamy"
water is not there to cushion the noise.
--- At anchor, when it's quiet out, with just enough breeze for small
wavelets, they run up to the sponsons and get trapped transmitting through
the hull a sort of plop-plop-plop sound as they are collected there. I'm
told the more advanced cutwater of say Windemere or Topaz eliminate that. My
solution if it annoys a guest aboard is to anchor stern to.

In a single word, no.
But there is, as always, exception.
Let me explain.
The cutwater does exactly that and cuts or splits the water so there is only
a slight foaming noise. The water/foam that is pushed aside runs back and is
caught under the sponsons. They ride up on that light water cushion without
noise. This is what gives Microtrawler such a soft ride. To me it's a magic

wavelets, they run up to the sponsons and get trapped transmitting through
the hull a sort of plop-plop-plop sound as they are collected there. I'm
