01-10-2013 06:03 PMDoug Ford, formerly the aerodynamicist for the Miss Budweiser team, told me Bluebird although though not an air trap boat was getting aerodynamic lift even at lower speeds. This aerodynamic lift reduced hydrodynamic drag and helped Bluebird go faster.

It actually was a step bottom, wasn't it? Looks like there is a considerable step right in front of the rudder at the rear of the forward planing surface.

Cool song written in memory of Campbell including some great footage from a '88 BBC production starring Anthony Hopkins:
Now I need to find that movie.....I never heard of it. He did a great job in World's Fastest Indian.
