Have you noticed any oil canning after removing the fwd v berth?

:: I Race\ sail a Santana 22 in Sydney Australia the yachts
:: havn't been built here for a number of years hence when
:: i race it is in a mixed division of mainly Hood 23s for
:: all you tuna owners out there I have done many things to
:: my tuna probably because I'm not defined by class from
:: the following you will see its all about how fast I can
:: make a tuna go also the yachts here were built a little
:: differant than the ones in the USA we have an inner
:: forestay to help stop mast pump and lucky for me the
:: keel bolts started out as stainless the only thing I
:: would like to know is can i have an explanation on
:: Fairing the keel and hull if we are talking smooth then
:: shes like a babies bum if not can you explain the
:: following is a list of changes possibly you could use
:: some without upsetting the one class such as the
:: spiunacker pole mounting

:: 1/ mounting my spinacker pole on the boom similar to
:: skiffs hence I can put my pole up and down without ever
:: going forward of the mast

:: 2/.I have also,lengthened the mast 3'6"making her more
:: competive in light winds plus I now fly a Etchell
:: spinacker and'fully battened main. 3/I've moved the
:: travaeller forward to just in front of the steering
:: position where I think in your articles you call a
:: barney this means I control the traveller rather than
:: the main sheet in gusts seldom needing to release the
:: main sheet

:: 4/ stripped out the interier and replaced with
:: lightweight materails including total removal of the
:: front V berth in lightening her she now rides 5 inches
:: above her orginal waterline
