This might be why you are getting the odd results. If the model does not allow the modeled hull to change its sinkage and trim in response to the...
Hey Paul, how are you keeping the displacement constant in this? Do you increase the draft? What was the trim and sinkage for each hull?
What you say makes sense. However, would you also suggest that America's Cup engineering is re-inventing the wheel? Directional stabilty and...
Yes that seems better. You can go to much smaller tubing in such an arrangement. One guide to use is to ask if the structure would stay in place...
v=3m/s, L = 5.64m, g=9.8m/s^2 Fn = 3/ SQRT(5.64*9.8) = 0.4 Displacement = 0.2m^3 Fnv = 3/(9.8^0.5 * 0.2^(1/6)) = 1.25 From what I...

Are you intending to incorporate some flexibility in the hull connection framework so the hulls can somewhat independely forllow waves? The...
