This last summer I had it catching up to me coming down the face of the
wave, I had read about that but never experienced it before.

It is an odd thing, my impression of the Elegant Punt was based on the
side view and plan view plans i has seen, and honestly I had the
personal opinion that it was a clunky, ugly, boxy boat, (hardly
elegant) and one of my least favorite Bolger designs. Today, after the
process of doing the isometric modeling, and gaining a 3D
visualization of shape of the the vessel, I have changed my mind about
Elegant Punt entirely. I now like the look of that boat, and
think the sweeping curves of the shear and chines are darn pretty, and
want to build and own one.
I built one several years ago.
A fine little craft.
