You can either reduce spacing by introducing more girders (main longitudinal stiffeners) or/and introduce web-frames that will effectively support...
Lefteris, the crucial part is that power generated by an internal combustion engine (gas, diesel, kerosene, whatever) is exactly the same as...
Lefteris, bare in mind that some (or most) outboard and sterndrive manufacturers state the shaft horse power as the maximum output power of their...
If you are happy with existing performance, then you know your power requirements. As Gonzo mentioned you need to find an electric motor to...
Lefteris, I feel that your post has nothing to do with any conversion. Things could be as "simple" as estimating the required power in kW or hp...
You will calculate the optimum propeller for your application using the charts and then consult manufacturers' catalogs for a propeller that comes...
The B Screw (Troost) propeller series, as any other propeller series, is a set of propellers with a range of characteristics such as P/D ratio,...

I used to work orca3d under bootcamp. I had no problem as a mac booting in windows (using bootcamp) is a windows machine. You will not succeed if...
As a general rule of thumb you can assume 0.25mm for every 100 grams of CSM and 0.16mm of thickness for every 100 grams of roving. This is quite...
Excellent boat! You can also check quickPlaning tool (www.boatdesignlab.com) to estimate the effect (running trim and speed) for various COG...
Rhino3D has nothing to do with resistance prediction or its accuracy. It is a 3D cad modeler that can be extended with plugins such as...
I don't know your design details but I assume is a semi-planing or planing hull. In such a case stick to the Savitsky method. MaxSurf Hullspeed...
The following are from the software's manual. I doubt your hull fits into the method's boundary conditions. The slender body method assumes the...
in the case of commercially operated bare-boats, crew members are passengers. Not the RCD definition but applies in some cases, in some countries....
