search for hull form references

[tim]

hi all,
I am doing a study on high speed displacement catamarans and I am looking for a reference where I can find the definition of the different hull forms: npl, sspa, series...with datas with the residuary resistance coefficients.

Can somebody help me ?
thank you by advance

Try looking for the AYRS , Amateur Research Society web area . A prof named Lazarus , I think from Australia , will have postings and has a web page .

Far more math than I can even pretend to comprehend , but it could be for you.

Also look at

bbpub@optionline.net
1-201-447-1834

for a copy of MULTIHULL SHIPS 495 hardcore pages of heavy reference text on every area of high speed designs.

May be pricy , but some skool libraries can do wonders with Inter Library loans.

Have fun,

FAST FRED
