When sea-trialing the Krogen Express 49 hull #1 (now the Krogen Express 52) I compared the graphs in Voyaging Under Power to results from a CAT...
My optimism concerning the possibility of an ISO 12215 compliant boat markedly lighter than the Oldport 26 is based in part on Nigel Irens' CLARA...
True, but: 26 foot launches are not an uncommon type. I think this is what Perry Van Oossanen is proposing to do - ask people to submit their own...
There was a 60-foot aluminum around-the-world sailboat built in the US in the 1990's for Mike Carr, designed by Mike Kaufman, that relied on...
As we prepare for a judge's conference call Perry has suggested each contestant supply their own resistance curve, and that Perry's calculation at...

Worth looking at for inspiration, power package included: Isobel Combines Classic Looks and Modern Tech - Professional BoatBuilder Magazine...
Finalizing the resistance prediction is where I see Perry playing his role. As I understand it he wants the hulls to come to him with basic...
