Pretty or not is a all about taste, but why is the bow of my boat rounded is the real question.
The scow is a design which has been around for more than a hundred years but only recently they have been introduced into offshore racing sailboats design. More power, less drag, more comfortables, not much to disagree with, and the boat is fast for sure!

10 minutes of the sailing Frenchman is not enough per week. I need more. 😅

Sometimes the ugliest things become beautiful through best function. The shape reminds me of some surfboards.

Congrats on the new boat..safe sailing and fair winds ahead 🌷🌷

In my opinion the most important factor, is that in the capsize test, the boat floats differently (bow down/up), allowing for more sail power and canting keel angle, which benefits performance; as you have more power to sail, it compensates for the less efficient shape. Also, the boat tends to sail on the side narrow chains, to use the rest of the body as a lever.

Good informative video. I have not followed Minis since 2001 ! One more advantage of the scow type hull is that there is less asymmetry in the immersed part of the hull when heeled. I do prefer the pointy hulls, but these scow hulls with foils are just awesome.

Chapeau ... a tip of the hat. Now and again, somebody thinks out side the box.

Very similar dimensions and mass as my Sonata though my boat doesn't do that speed. Mini Transats are awesome. Stoked that my favourite sailing channel is now sailing my favourite boat.

Old designers trick.... rounded ends (as you heel) extend the water-line, the spoon bow will also plane down-wind preventing the bow from burrying!

You didn’t mention the advantage of more internal space for sail storage and better sleeping options. I think that it is awesome. There are a lot of traditional Dutch barge boats with the rounded bow style. And there are other performance advantages when healed to do with the immersed shape of the hull against the wide stern wedge shaped hulls which are slightly pushing their keels sideways through the water.
