I'd say the "world distance record for human power and has been described as the most efficient human powered boat on the planet." would count.
The great thing about the software is that you can try hundreds of variations in a short period of time with no significant cost, and without having to try to eliminate variables caused by different rigs, winds, or sea states.
I'm particularly interested in the new expeditionarry hull shape, though I'd likely go bigger, and am fascinated that the flat bottom can be so efficient above five knots while also adding to leeway prevention (non-optimal leeway prevention, but still...).
Plus, it's great to have so much discussion around design changes that can improve the harryproa form factor.
If you're not interested in software
analysis, Doug, that's fine. But let's stop debating it. In an ideal world, we'll have both software analysis *and* real-world iterative testing. You, Todd, Rudolph, Arttu, Rob, and others have done a fine job with implementing designs. Let's be additive and see where software can help make things even better.

Any credit to the programmers and engineers?
Or just trust the software company?
Okay, so when I want to look at pretty lines on a graph then I know who to call.
