That makes sense for boats going hard on the wind but what about time when the true wind is at 90 degrees to both boats? Just because the...
Most normal sailors have a pretty good idea of the area affected by the wind shadow of a normal boat sailing ahead? But how does it look like for...
I don't know about the Lagoons but i can tell you that other cats from similar high profile names are dogs to sail except perhaps on a very broad...
No need to wonder. Sailing on these modern boxomarans is abysmal. I recently was invited for a sail on a brand new 43ft boat from a well known...
Prestart match racing will be an incredibly dangerous game with those "tentacles" coming out of the boats sideways. It will make the jousting...
Thanks I will look into that.
Are there any websites dedicated to the design and construction of homebuilt lifting foils for boats under 6m?

Basically I have a 7.5m cat with an outboard hung on the rear beam. Also I have one big tramp of similar material to yours between the mast and...
i would appreciate some photos of the connections and the beam dimensions
@paxfish, Excellent work. Can you explain how the engine pod is fixed to the beams/boat? A couple of pictures would be great. thanks
My initial search led me to a download site outside Autodesk and a 60M file called 123Dcatch.msi was downloaded. It installed flawlessly but did...
Hi Mike, I tried to install 123D Catch to see how it works. Although the program seems to install correctly, nothing happens when I double...
That may well be but, putting these 2 aside, are wider sterns in racing and cruiser/racing yachts faster overall than narrower hulls in an...
