About the Wild Front Ear
The Wild Front Ear was designed by Paul Oakey in 1995 and showed it's true colours in severl Burton weeks in the last 1990s. The design was optimised for displacement sailing with little sensitivity to fore-aft trim. The hull sections are vee-shaped from stem to mid length and then curves smoothly up to the transom. The water lines are very straight forward and as narrow as possible with bumps to meet the rise-of-floor measurement points. The Wild Front Ear is a good all rounder.
