Thank you for you advice. I agree with your comments, the problem is how to accommodate all of them without losing anything... So, after trying...
Here we go with a yet another dream "pocket' sailboat. This time I wanted it to have standing headroom for 6'-0" person, be self-bailing and...
Agree, you are correct in that this sailboat is on the heavy side. But other small off-shore capable boats also are no ballerinas. Just look at...
I use Delftship (older version) for general layout and building rough outline, then I use PolyCAD for stability and GZ curve, AutoCAD for...
Hello, Peter. Nice to see you here. In no way I am well experienced in building, but if I may add my two cents, the double ender hull's most...
Thank you for you questions, I think they are very appropriate for all sailboats. In this academic example I presented my understanding,...
I listened to suggestions of Doug Lord and also updated sail plan.
It took me some time to figure out how to paste images and videos in my posts and the print could be better. I did not concentrate on sail plan...
I would like to discuss and ask for opinion about a sailboat for off-shore voyages and gunkholing at the same time when in shallow water. My first...
Disp./Length defines how "heavy" the vessel is and it affects motion comfort among other things. Sail Area/Disp. mostly would help to predict and...
If I would have to do this job I would try something like this: https://www.flickr.com/photos/142944091@N08/29377868658/in/datetaken/
If this boat has • displacement-to-length ratio between 200~300, • sail-to-displacement ratio between 15~16, • ballast-to-displacement ratio...
If the ballast-to-displacement ratio is near or above 50% and the keel is deep (and strong to take bending moment) enough, no matter what form is...
"Capable?" I guess yes, • if you are lucky, • if you are skilled sailor, • if you know your weather and currents, • if you plan your voyage...
There is nothing unique about this hull from the point of design. The use would be exactly to compete. I am just asking any opinion if the hull...
I am looking for any opinion. It is supposed to be light composite sandwich hull shown on the attached video (it is h.264 - remove ".avi"...
I try to come up with something feasible for ocean racing and not for choppy waves of shallow bays.
Thanks, asmith -- those boats do make a splash. I hope that my boat would glide over whose waves instead of throwing up lots of water. Every...
Is it a progress? I took in account Paul's recommendation and refined slightly the model. Now it is not as blunt as before, I adjusted the...
Blunt rounded bow should be in the air above the water Thank you, Paul. It is a good pointer and I do understand that blunt rounded shape...
