On their website they describe it has having "inverse hard chines." I'm not sure what that means - could it bear any relation to "notchiness?" Joan<< Hi Joan, There's a review of the Ellesmere in the Feb. 2000 Sea Kayaker, and there, you can see the "inverse" chines. It's an interesting looking chine arrangement. It has a second, "upper chine" that curves down at either end. It also has a rounded hull instead of a shallow V. I haven't paddled one yet, but I'm very interested in trying it. I have no idea of the "notchiness factor" of this boaty.
