Chine-walking — side-to-side rocking at speed

The hull rocks side-to-side at speed instead of tracking flat and straight.

💡 The idea: Get more of the hull's chines biting the water again.

Try these in order

Make one change at a time and re-test — that's how you learn what your car likes.

  1. 1
    Raise the strut

    Puts more of the hull chines in contact with the water, restoring lateral bite — the established fix.

  2. 2
    Move CG forward as speed increases

    Pairs with the strut-raise per racer convention to settle the hull.
