Just enough overhang so the anchor doesn't hit the bow going up or coming down. More than that and it's like a pot belly on a 50 year old. Saddly overdone and past it's prime. |
However, one thing not really capitalized on about the overhangs... the
anchor is one issue it solves - but it also extends out the
Jib or Genoa and allowing for greater sail area... depending on course that it is rigged as such to utilize (most are)... in which case - beyond the drawback that overhang for marina billing uses is used against... can be an asset..................
