the beam is 10.9 at the widest point and tapers down to 9 feet at the transom. the draft I dont know under three feet or at least right around three feet. The last I heard the mold was sold to a guy in Rockland Maine. Thats all I know about the mold. |

Bill,
The fine entry of the boat is what gives the BHM it's nice head sea ride but in a following sea that same entry can act like a rudder if there is not a lot of buoyancy in the bow or there isn't much weight in the back end. The 28 Wayne Beal has a bigger entry giving it lift and buoyancy which really helps in a following sea. Following sea ride can be greatly improved if weight can be moved aft on a boat that has a fine entry. Take a look at the two hulls and see the difference.

Looking @ the 28 Beal hull it appears that the Calvins "in general" are good "following sea" boats and maybe not as good "head sea" boats?? Yes?? No?? Also, does a "sharp entry" mean a drier ride?? I've heard that a 32 Mitchell Cove (pic below) is a "wet boat" and may "pound a bit". The 32 MC does not have a "sharp entry". True? Again, like others who have never owned a DE, I'm trying to learn here! LOL Bill |

I do not think that a finer entry makes for a drier ride, I think that most boats are wet depending on how they run and the wind and sea conditions. The only time they are dry is when they are out of the water. I can't say about the MC32 but looking at the bottom in your picture it sure looks like it could carry a lot of traps. Bill have you ever been in a flat bottom clam boat on a choppy day?
