Yeah sure. Boards that produce lift require two. But how "high performance" is the intended boat really going to be? Seems to be reaching...
I'm in the Caribbean at the moment in the BVI. The ugly Kelsal proa is here. Last year when I was here it was for sale. Looks like it failed...
This thread may be of interest. Single Dagger Board vs Double Boards https://www.boatdesign.net/threads/single-dagger-board-vs-double-boards.37787/
You only need one daggerboard for daggerboard performance. It has to be bigger than if you had two but it still ends up being cheaper and easier...
It was me who started the thread years ago. Then Sailhand chipped in more recently. His posts are towards the end. I took the tender out for...
I think your 5.5m limit might break you out of displacement speeds with one person but probably not 2. Sailhand on the forum designed a power...
Yeah for sure the stern shape will matter in semi displacement. Which is what I meant when I said you would not want a lot of rocker at the back....
Shape is not that important as long as you stick with something relatively conventional. You will be going over hull speed though so you don't...
There is no way your proposed electric setup will increase resale value. It will have the opposite effect.
This is my style.
This almost happened in my boat. I had an old car battery in the house bank. Up to 50a of solar going into the bank and the car battery...
Nice renderings! How much does moving the rear beam back affect weight at the stern? I have always thought that boards with an inward angle...
Shuttleworth did some calcs on the one board vs two and afaict his conclusions were there are next to no gains by having two unless you are a full...
I'm still not 100% sold on the central nacelle with a board. A reverse expense and weight spiral says to just use a single dagger in one hull.
I like your design Jorge. I was just questioning that it is minimalist, well whats minimalist for you might be luxurious for me. Probably just...
Looking forward to seeing your build system!
I can live without a regular "full" bridgdeck, but it would have to be something like this. Just designing it so the option of something like...
Loving it. I have just got my 12x6m shed certified. So now I can add another bay to make it 15m ;) My idea was to build a semi open...
No need to sell me on the intelligent infusion. I'm sold that its the best way to build many composite structures. I was trying to point out...
Hey mate. Yeah I have been able to do a few full days of manual labour so my legs getting there. I'm still not in the mood yet to build your...
