Mutlihull Technical Papers

[Allure Marine]

Hi all I am currently in the search for technical information regarding hull designs for Power Multihulls.
At this stage I am working on a 11m semi displacement cruising power catamaran similar to a (Logan Prowler) or the (Robertson and Caine 37 Leopard) I would appreciate your feedback regarding this particular post.

Best regards

Hi Matt,

You may find this article interesting in your pursuit of power cat info. It's not deeply technical, but does offer a window of studied data that may just provide a springboard for further searching on the Web.

If you find something interesting, I would like to see the information, as well.

Try reading book by Doubrovsky 'Multi Hull Ships'.

Not only about small craft, but gives good review of multihull dynamics. This book is available from RINA online shop.

Thanks guys, this should keep me busy reading away. it's always a task finding information. I also managed to track down some technical papers handed out by my lecturer which may come in handy tonight.

All the best
