Hi Guys,

I'm just getting ready to fit the runners on the hull of my dragonfly. There are three runners - one on the keel (which runs 12 feet), and two more on either side (each 13 feet).

My question relates to the two on either side of the keel runner. Do they need to be evenly spaced from the keel runner for their entire length, or is it okay for them to curve inwards (towards the keel) as they move towards the bow? In other words, is it okay for them to be about 16 inches from the keel runner near the transom, and about 13 inches from the keel runner near the bow?

Many thanks,
Tas

Seeing that water flows in the same direction along the hull,I'd want these all parallel to the keel
