I'm not interested in arguing. So I'm just going to put this out there for you to ponder.
In the film industry we rely on the Audience not thinking like us, When I watch a film I can't help but think "where's the crew?"because my job is hiding them, I'm sure you've all watched show's like storage wars. Did you ever wonder how they get the shot of the door opening form the inside for the reveal, no there wasn't a camera, and sound man in there for years, its fake.
The Novi is an incredible design, its incredibly stable with a flat rear and deep keel, yet with a high water line, The mast didn't make the boat unstable its ridicules to think that tiny bit of wood would effect the boat that much and stay part of the design. the reason for the mast was at the time Gaming boats (which the ORCA was supposed to be) trended to having masts with crows nests. there are half a dozen in the bay next to the ORCA in all the photos from set.
the reason for the added ballast, was the crew and the crew rigs. ORCA had designed in a crew platform running all down her side for shooting and lighting. That's what the bolt pate are for.
The ORCA was covered in crew for most of the shoot ("Save the sound department.")
If the ORCA was so unstable why was it so hard to pull her over.
If you look at her water line its not that much different to the Warlock. There's no ballast in any of my models but I've not got 20 guys and all the gear hanging off the side to worry about.
I do advice you not to start watching movies thinking about where the crew is, it really ruins the experience.
