Valiente will become famous soon enough
So far the worse I've been in are square little eight footers close-hauled. While the boat pitched (slowly), it was wetter on the sailing deck (high and aft of the pilothouse) than it was on the foredeck or indeed on the pilothouse windows.

LOD=40.0. LOA 41.9 ft., LWL=31.2 ft., beam=12.5 ft. Bluff bows and a big arse on her (about six-six wide at the stern). Very different from the plastic boat's ride.



I believe it's called a "bluff" bow:
