Hate the music - but love the boat.
Back in the early 1950s I used to sail an open 18 foot clinker-built yawl which had been built in 1860. She had a reverse angle bow like a Victorian battleship - although with not quite as much sweep-back as you've given your boat .She was faster than most other boats of her kind perhaps because of the increased waterline length provided by the bow protrusion.
Your boat has enormous potential

I've been a big advocate of the aft-mast rig for years, particularly my 'single-masted ketch' version, and I've experienced my share of naysayers to new concepts. So I appreciated your comment, "the best type of research science has no fear of being wrong, because we often lear as much from a theory which is proved wrong as from one which is proved right. Instead we make progress with bold predictions..."

Hi Warwick,
A reference to your article and the videos was recently added to my extensive discussions of aft mast sailing rigs on BoatDesign net. I subsequently have re-read your article several times and viewed the videos a number of times....very interesting material, and presented in an intelligent format. I have subsequently added links to this article and videos on several of the boating forums I participate in.
Brian,

Warwick I am so impressed you've done it again!
After 5,000 years of Man sailing around the World, you've come up with a novel idea. Congratulations!
