12/1/2
I was just looking at those lovely photos of the 12 1/2 sea trails again

The 12 1/2 is a good looking boat and it is really good advice not to
mess with a design especially a Bolger one
But
Bruce what would it look like with lapstrake sides. The Chebacco comes
out better that way I think. I just took a look at your flicker
rendition again

and maybe that deep keel would make it not worth it, any rounding might
increase volume low which would just provide more flotation for the
ballast to deal with.
