P105 design update

For the past days I've been struggling to raise the Cp to 0.63-0.64. Sounds like a pretty easy thing to do, however, I don't want my hulls to look like barges so squeezing the last bit out of that Cp increase potential is quite tricky. The challenge is to maintain decent entry and exit rocker angles while making the ends fuller. As a consequence to the hull shape modifications (going to a Cp of 0.64) I lost a bit of displacement (100kg), ended up with a shallower rocker and even slimmed the hulls. The bow shape was also modified in the process, the slightly overhanging bow allows for more volume up front without burying the bow tip (I want it out of the water, or just kissing).
