Just to help get some terminology straight--because your new eBay rudder is an airfoil of sorts, it will have 'lift'--generated by differential...
Your calculations are interesting work. I notice that the Catalina 27 row has an inconsistent formula--if you copy the formula from the row above...
Teddy, it's hard to imagine any boat being comfortable when waves are breaking over the bow or stern. I'm only trying to say that if a boat has a...
Free? I looked at that link, and Winchart Nexus does indeed look pretty slick. And after all the recent buzz about Furuno Net3D I'd really...
rudder improvement I have a consideration for you--if you're using the water inlet and out for engine or exhaust cooling, and you're using a...
One more note I forgot, to you guys who are looking to incorporate CANbus communication into OpenPilot--the www.canusb.com link provided by Tim...
I love the simplicity of using a USB dongle to bring in CANbus info, especially if we're just tapping into one point in an existing CANbus...
Thanks to both of you guys--saved me days of work! What about finding the intersections of layers? It seems to me that if you inserting a...
I guess it depends on how you work with overhangs in the formula. Let's say you set up a hypothetical bluewater sailboat--say 40 ft LOA, 30 ft...
The tutorial that Billy submitted is a good overview, but of interest to our group is a piece of missing information in the list of...
Try this calculator I put together a little Excel spreadsheet to play with the MCR as well as the CSF (and threw in the D/L ratio while I was...

More info needed By WAGO, do you mean wiring your panel using WAGO-brand terminal strips rather than bus bar with screw terminals? (thought...
The correct procedure depends on the governing body that's going to decide whether the boat is suitable. If the ship is built, here's an example...
Zaim, I'm curious what the freeboard is on this bulk carrier. And also, are you including cargo in your calculations? The angle seems quite low...
Dampening Growing up in the frozen midwestern US, we learned to play a game called Crack the Whip. A whole string of us would hold hands on ice...
Here's a confidence builder Tony, that's a really cute little hotrod you found. I'd really like to a see an electric version of that. But--as a...
Control face creation Nice trick--I hadn't seen the 'Create Control Face' icon. I'll look for that tomorrow when I get back in. Thanks again!
Extrusions LP, those are outstanding suggestions. You know, I had originally extruded the sheerline to form my deck, and extruded the aft...
No--you're completely missing the inertia part of the concept. You [B]have[B] taken a physics class somewhere along the way, have you not?...
