USCA hull form design

There are some papers at my WWW site that might be helpful.

Also look at Michlet: http://www.cyberiad.net/michlet.htm

One important consideration is the dynamic sinkage and trim of the hull during the stroke. You won't be able to estimate this using Michlet, but I have other software if you are really, really, keen.

Thanks for the response and references Leo.

I noticed in one of your papers you mentioned the directional stability and rectangular draft profile issues. I didnt see you refer to analysis of an elliptical draft forward in combination with a rectangular draft aft. (would the lablel for this be: P:E:E/2R/2?)

I'm working through the Michlet manual now. And yes in regard to trim and sinkage: I'm really keen.
