Trying to get some hull characteristics straight in my head between a hard and round chine semi-displacement boats. Is my thinking on track with general boating conditions where winds are less than 20kts and seas are less than 5 feet and anchoring in less than a 1 foot chop.
I believe a hard chine boat will generally be less rolly at anchor but will get pushed around more in an aft quartering sea.
I believe a rounded chine boat will more rolly at anchor but will get pushed around less in an aft quartering sea.
Going into a head sea the rounded chine hull may pound less.
Trying to figure out if there is a big advantage of a hull like below vs a hard chine Taiwanese trawler.
