I hope the Edmunds book will have enough information for me to extrapolate the basics of the design process and stability calculations. I have...
What do you mean by LCG and VCG?
Thanks for the quick and very informative response! On my model, the COG is about 9 or 10 inches forward of the COB, but it is only the Area COG,...
If I understand correctly, the COG should be directly above the Center of Flotation, right? What is the difference between the Center of...
dkubiak, I just ordered "Designing for Power and Sail" by Arthur Edmunds. I will let you know what I think about it when I get it. I, like...
