G'day Matt, Does this mean that depending on the hull shape and load distribution edging a boat may sometimes reduce and sometimes increase the rocker. Could this lead to an explanation for why some boats turn to the right, some to the left and some remain neutral, when the boat is moving while edged and without any influence from the paddle?
