Atkins designed a lot of boats, and most of them were not Seabrights. The largest Seabright currently offered on the Atkins site is the 28'...
Not certain that you are asking the right question there. There is some data that says that while wave propagation speed is a constant, "hull...
As a separate system, yes making a rudder into a computer operated roll stab would be costly. But if you built it into a gyro'd autopilot, the...
There are conflicting forces in play here. Generating boundary layer laminar flow creates drag. The Atkins design has more surface area than a...
I'm not at all sure Fred is wrong. Boundary layer water is created regardless of whether the energy is recaptured or not. I think the word...
I don't expect miracles; I'm just curious as to whether there is any hydrodynamic progress at all. Powerboats and sailboats differ in this way as...
Hey All, I live behind a VERY restrictive firewall. I can see US based YachtWorld pics, but I can't see any that are on the server that carries...
It doesn't seem that it would be that hard to test the basic theory. A pipe and valve extending above the waterline fitted to a through hull just...
Looking at the lines above, I am struck by how the curve of the hull aft of the box keel describes a kind of expansion section. Is it possible...
Thanks, Leo. The Dyer does indeed seem to come very close to what I am looking for, except that I am looking for a boat to build, not buy....
Yup, brain f**t. It should read .9 nmpg. I don't think you want my carbs :)
The Chesapeake is broad and shallow. It's 4 miles wide at the top, 30 miles wide at the bottom, and about 200 miles long. The average depth is...
Can I get back a page or two and return to seakeeping? The question was asked if real seakeeping abilities are needed. I'm not certain if the...
http://www.theclassicboathouse.com/ads.html Check out the 1959 Aero-Glas and the 1950 Red Fish Shark. I havn't gone through all the ads, so...
Ya, that's pretty much it. If you a maxi for marina sailing, decks are always too cold/hot/wet/dry/andthedarnedbirdsmakemenervous. There just...
Hi All, I'm thinking of a boat... As I have moved well into my fifth decade I have begun to think about "the last boat". You know, the one you...
I'm beginning to see the light. Since I intend to wet store Thetis, she won't be hauled until spring and I was hoping to get the genset in this...
I was concerned about that, since genset cooling is critical. Will using a Y instead of a T (to reduce turbulance) help prevent the problem, or...
Ok, I looked through the archives, and found nothing to help, maybe someone out there can. I need a raw water supply for the genset I'm...
i did some model testing with swath and -very delicatly- it does work Looks something like the General Dynamics proposed LCS. By "very...
