[QUOTE=numbskull;1145978]Downeast hulls are planing hulls with a narrow entry.
1/2 correct
Downeast hulls are Displacement hulls with Steep Narrow entries and flatten out towards the stern.
Some builders will modify by adding lifting rails to give them some lift (planing hull) but they generally plow through the water (displace)
The steep narrow entries make them superior in a head Sea but the flat aft stern makes them a challenge in a following Sea.
