    If my memory serves, Otter and Wenda are very similar.
    Look very carefully at the sections of Otter below the waterline.

    Smell is complex and personal.
    "I love the smell of Napalm in the morning" comes to mind.

    My hunch is that the centerboard on # 3 is too far forward, and an odd shape, not lending itself toward a foil. I would have this checked out by a successful modern NA.
