A well-designed hull handles the water with ease. It feels right … quick to plane and truetracking, free of bow wander at slow speeds. It’s predictable in a turn like a sports car, responsive under power and ultimately smooth and satisfying every time you go out.

But they do a lot more. As interesting as these style features look, they actually make the Azure hull stronger and more rigid. Other boats add core material to gain strength. They also gain weight and add labor to the build process. Azure designers
