Flint Dinghy

I have been looking at this nice boat that Tinker found.

It is a nice shape and its panel shape has taught me a couple of things.

As it was designed for a sail rig, would it go better with a seagull if it had less rocker.

The bow shape is good, and should handle the waves well.

Would greater length and less rocker make it quicker?

Changing it to much may upset the way it is put together. In its present form it is nice and stiff. Would taking out the rocker make it easier to twist? When it is trimed right this boat goes very well as it is. Engine works better when it is fitted with a anti-cavitation plate. It also is very easy to row so should be very easy to push in the water.
