Try googling NACA and report 291 for a start. The lowest drag came from a Fineness ratio of 2. A NACA search for airforms and struts also brings out some interesting information that might be applicable to cross winds.

A referance somewhere (may have been here) said the nose should have the shape of a 2 to 1 ellipse, while the tail should have a shape of a 3 to 1 ellipse. Anyone know? Just bought a trailer for my boattail. Would like to verify the 3 to 1 ellipse referance before I build anything.
