The Fluted Diamond Tail Kneeboard by John
Ware was a variation on Peter Crawford's Slab design that used the stepped
bottom feature first noted on John Kelly Jr.'s HydroHull or Scorpion Tail
of 1964.
See Sand

This design feature was later applied in
1973 by Ben Apia with his Stinger design that used a step in the bottom
at the break in the template line.
