Dave A:

Some assumptions that make the case for the Calixas 105 to indeed be a capable Expedition vessel--

Naval architecture (Greg Marshall) has a serious pedigree.

Assume that wave tank testing (Greg does this in Vancouver) took place prior to the build.

The bulbous bow should reduce pitching to a dull roar.

Perhaps Lars can back me up on this, but there aren't too many designs--anybody's-- that hit the water and blow their mission.

IMHO, as usual.
