Nat and the Ski

THE SKI is a combination of of these components: deck line, bottom line, rail line, and outline.
The secret is in the way these ingredients are blended.
Outline: A round tail blending soft natural curves for clean water flow, with width and thickness forward of center.
Rail line: Egg shape at widest point, tapering naturally to high in the nose and low in the tail.
Bottom line: Singly the most important component these curve relate closely to the rail.
A planing hull increasing acceleration and top speed.
Deck line: A combination of thickness for floatation and curves for clean water flow.
The S deck keeps thickness forward creating a true foil with clean release.
We give you a form for maximum freedom.

For further technical information feel tree to write to Nat Young or any of our other design consultants.
