Don't be so pessymistic with that boat ;) The designer even tried to make her look like a retro one... (but he didn't succeed :p )
Styling exercise. Exterior design study. LOA 24 ft. Recreational boat for inshore. Electric engine. Eco solution. I'm waiting for comments!
Look: I had in my mind, as you said, a small cat. The floor is attached to the hulls permanently. On this floor there's another, the same...
So tell me am I understanding correctly: you're about to design a kayak hull, then manufacture two of them to make a catamaran, add some sails and...
too much emotion shared late night... I'll try to give some feedback here now.
Worse design is every design you send to your buddy designer to get his opinion of it :). But be sure that this design is gonna be the market...
No, not only, the hull will generate some (hopefully 70%) in a traditional way and other 30 will be generated by the canting empty bulb acting on...
Assuming that the foil of the empty bulb will be canting 80-90 degrees and the boat will be heeled- there's no possibility that the bulb will get...
The empty bulb will be TOTALLY immersed. In that case there will be no wave drag as for a hull, that's the main drag advantage I wante to obtain....
Actually I'm going (eventually) to apply this device on a monohull... Will it work? Any chances? Worth playing?
Yes, but gybing keels are already developed- I wanted to try something new... Will it work? I hope so, anyway- I keep up innovating and try to...
So, you mean, that the hole keel should act like a gybing board? I'm afraid that the side force will be too small to ,,twist" the keel and...
Yes, it should move to the leeward. How could it go otherwise ;). Anyway- I made a quick sketch, I hope that you'll read something from that......
I'll see how simple mechanical solutions can control the correct position and amount of rotation (angle of attack)... I have to think about...
Thanks for your opinions. I 'll try to put a quick render of my idea as soon as possible. Regarding servo- the reason of this lever and...
My idea is to attach to the keel's trim tab a lever ended with some lead. As the boat heels the lead according to gravitation moves to lover point...
Rick, many, many thanks for your input :) I have already made a model of mold form laminating my keel, and the decision was made onto S9032...
Your posts have inspired me to make some deeper investigation in airfoil sections for keel application. As the result, I have figured out and...
Thanks a lot! However, there was a .dat file... where can I open it? -----Solved------ But my query about other profiles to consider in this...
I'm looking for coordinates table for EPPLER E836 HYDROFOIL , because I want to make very accurate model of a keel I'm gonna make for my model...
