Some of the IMOCA 60's and the modern style copycats seem to have tumblehome in the bow, if that is what it is still called. IOR rule was a factor in it - but not that much. Mainly just a trend IOR designers went through for a couple of years in the early 70's - because it disappeared very quickly. You would be hard pressed to find an IOR boat with tumblehome designed after about 1974. Tumblehome 2 was in the '78 HTC - but she was a 5-6 year old design at that point. Jones more recent designs at the '78 HTC- mainly the Hustler 32s were similar in overall concept but didn't have the tumblehome or the reverse bow. There were quite a few Hustler 32s at the HTC that year with Smokey Bear finishing second behind Waverider. I recall reading an article by one of the designers at the time saying that tumblehome was intended to reduce the heeled waterline beam and make the underwater shape less asymmetrical - reducing wave drag and weather helm (I guess it was thought to favourably shift the CLR a bit too - IDK). Of course on the downside, it would tend to move the CB inward as you progressively heeled- reducing the righting arm. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

That is a Koster K 25, Sweden Interesting and strikingly attractive. Hard to tell from the photo angle, but it looks less like there is tumblehome in the hull form and more as if what would have been side decks were inflated to meet the gunnels. Must provide a big increase in volume below. I do wonder what it would be like to step off when coming alongside a dock. Potentially a bit slippery? My own Pathfinder has a bit of tumblehome. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
