What kind of boat? BTW, it's "federal", not "fenderal". In the States, boats and other vessels which are not required to be inspected and which...
Waves break not because of their speed, which as was pointed out, tsunami waves travel at speeds of hundreds of kilometers per hour in deep water...
The significant wave height is defined as the average of the heights of the 1/3 highest waves in a given sample. This is a statistical measure...
I must have missed that this vessel was intended to be self-powered. You don't want to design a barge then; you want to design a powered vessel...
It's not that, but if you have no idea what you're going to do with this barge, then we don't either. Botes aren't designed in a vacuum with a...
OK, here's one for ya: Maxims never designed a bote. If you don't know what you want to do with this barge, then folks on an anonymous forum...
This is the cheapest to build. I wouldn't put sharp pointy ends on a barge. You should have a vertical headlog at each end, approximately 12"...
A wooden dhow 50 m long is one of the longer vessels of this type. I wonder if the class surveyor was concerned that by exhibiting a hog, this...
A vessel in a hogging condition is not that unusual. It depends, in part, on how the vessel is loaded. A deflection of 14 mm seems to me to be...
A deflection of 14 mm in what length of vessel? How was this value determined? Why does someone think this amount of deflection is unacceptable?...
The PVSA of 1993 discusses cases where vessels are chartered, but as far as I can tell, the Act is silent on those vessels which are not operated...
Or, you could buy one of these from the US Navy for a buck: [IMG] Hurry, though! Supply is limited. Once these vessels are gone, they're...
In the US for US flag vessels, IMO and SOLAS apply only to those vessels engaged on an international voyage. If your vessel stays on domestic...
In the U.S., at least, there's no upper limit on the number of passengers a pleasure yacht may carry; the only criterion to observe is that you...
Oooo! That's ambitious. Trying to get this vessel classed.
It depends on what regulations the laws in Australia specify that a commercial passenger-carrying craft must meet. Only someone familiar with...
I feel a disturbance in the Force, as if another Train Submarine is about to appear.
If you went to that "mit collage" in Cambridge, Mass., you should realize that they also have an extensive department of ocean engineering I guess...
If you are not wedded to carrying 12 passengers, a passenger vessel under 100 GT which carries 6 or fewer passengers does not require inspection...
I'm afraid I'm not familiar with AQWA at all. When you say the jacket's 'initial position has been automatically calculated by ANSYS AQWA',...
