Is this of help?
For those without computer programs that can generate foils but want an easy scalable plot of the NACA0012 for the purpose of either making foils...
Thanks. I was thrown a little by the fact that the x points are not uniformly separated. But I guess that makes sense so that you get more...
Hate to ask a maybe silly question but can someone help me how to understand the NACA 4 digit point generator's results in terms of x and y...
Yes, I notice that the 10 points I started with when joining this forum have been reduced to 5 and it would seem that you are the source of this....
Fascinating idea! Very imaginative!
No, actually. It seems like it should but actually it won’t. It sounds like a good idea, though. The reason it won’t work, however, will take...
Concepts: H2O Diffusion through "solid" layups, (vs osmosis) and how to minimize or respond to this process.... Although it might seem...
Sound good; it will be a welcome addition to my workshop. Thanks for the input that is / was relevant to my specific concern.:)
Ok, I've looked them up and I have to say they look pretty good! And, I can think of 100 other times when I could have used such a tool. So they...
For a SINGLE CUT through a several inch diameter stainless steel pipe with a wall thickness approaching a quarter inch, what is a reasonable, low...
I just wanted to take a moment to thank all of you for the very thoughtful and detailed input; it's all read carefully and you can be certain it...
Mostly light fluky east coast USA winds which is why I get away with things as they are. But I love sailing most when the winds are honking, and...
They are reaching they are triradial laminate sails in the later stages of life but still have fairly good shape. The 155 takes a nice shape but...
Hey, I appreciate ALL the input, and will continue to gather information before trying anything. Further opinions or addition information is welcome!
It's a Capri 30. I'm talking about tipping the mast back AFTER finding an answer to the problem of the underwater CE being too far forward. The...
Yes, I was thinking the same thing... Set the old rudder aside (in case the new one is a disaster), and build a larger area (higher aspect ratio)...
In response to, "Are you trying to fix something, or just wondering about the neutral point?"... Well, a little of both. I really like my boat...
I have read that the center of effort of an underwater foil (such as a NACA 0012) is at 25% from the leading edge. Can anyone help me with a few...
...while in the water? I have never removed the rudder on my Capri 30 (inboard spade rudder with tiller) but would like to do so to do some...
