Sunswift is a World Solar Challenge competitor, Cd 0.16, and Af 0.7875 m-squared.
There are some CFD images. The side elevation indicates fully-attached flow down the roofline profile.
I am very familiar with Sunswift eVe, I read that paper a while ago. They don't start with a template and make no mention of a template in the paper. Just in case anyone is mislead by the original post.

Fully attached flow, I completely agree with, that is the goal, getting there is rarely if ever done using a "template" in any form.
