I don't see how it is even remotely like the CS hull. The chine is above the waterline.
Only if I still get presents in December.
That looks much better :) I'm not sure how far it should be blended over.
I expected the real version would be blended. Maybe hard to draw on the software?
That could be a vote for Brian's twin boards. The top of the boards foil could be set at a zero angle of attack at the intended leeway, then the...
I'm not sure what this refers to? I would have thought the chord of the foil would be relevant? Strut is yawed at 12 deg? That would seem...
Seems to have decent accommodations for 35'.
Exactly. With this kind of boat low buoyancy bows could work. They make up the required buoyancy in length.
Thinking about it more, I guess having very fine forward sections coupled with too much weight forward would reduce dynamic stability and increase...
I totally agree but not sure stability is the right term to describe that.
I'm not following how floating high adds stability? If anything I would have thought raising the CG by floating higher would reduce stability.
Look at my avatar pic. Its small but even then you can notice how its bow down. I think it will be easier to keep it trim with gear loading when...
My last boat (Crowther 226A) had a buoyancy distribution toward the rear. It went bow down with loading and sailing forces.
More assertions, no evidence. Please provide some. Particularly compared to LAR keels. And keep it on topic to the SOR which is a cruising cat,...
You have provided zero evidence for any of that. I believe the upwind performance will suffer compared to proper daggers but have no reason to...
I haven't caught right up on the thread yet :p I did see you had a few ideas. I will take a look later :)
The issue with tubercles and fences is they will not really be compatible with one of the major benefits of a pivoting centreboard. IE they will...
That is not a symmetrical foil so I can't see how it could be used on a keel? I also do not understand why a dagger rudder in a drum is any more...
I don't think this is regarding surface piercing foils? I know certain sections exist which are optimised for this task. Foils with the max...
The o looked as big as the 5 at first glance but now I look again its slighty smaller. :P
