It's great and easy to build, but the deck should be parallel to the water line to make it look better on the water...and the bow could be 10 degrees or so less to become parallel to the deck 😊. Good job !
I grew up sailing around the world on a boat with my parents and I got a pair of tin snips and started cutting the tops and bottoms off of soda cans and made boats with that same exact philosophy. I just folded the metal at the bow and for the stern folded it into a low stern. I'd make a rudder/skeg out of more can metal and then made a basic square sail out of another can and send them off downwind. I'd seen hydrofoils by that time and i started putting rudimentary skies on either side near the bow also made from soda can metal and those would lift all but the stern out of the water and rip off downwind quite quickly. When we were in the red sea we bought some pepsi in these huge cans and i made a bigger version with that and made a keel for it and some better sails and that one would go upwind pretty nicely. Cool to see it taken further with a full rc build.
What no 3 D printer? That will never work old man. As a retired guy myself I play with rc trucks so appreciate your efforts putting all this on video. You could trim the front top ( height) down a bit or move weight forward. I have no idea really but this looks a little high in the front? I am about to learn brazing myself, good luck with your rc.

I meant square
Beautiful boat and job well done! The handling is surprisingly good for what it is...
I've wondered for about 25 years what a hull like this would handle like

That is a known design called an Axe Bow .
Come on an axe bow ship is not made by folding a flat panel. Those is a total design concept not just the bow.
@@sbrunner69 it is what it is.
I love the shape of the bow! It cuts through water like a hot knife through butter.
Looks really good
