Haven't been to this site for a while, really enjoy the usual deep analysis here. Please, for the sake of us lurkers, dont degenerate into...
I can't see how this would have a significant effect without much bigger modifications to the hull. Plumb and reverse bows are usually the result...
I have one of those, it has been updated over the years to have the latest tornado square top and running gear. Its just a good cheap fun boat,...
Buzzman - I noticed you posted in the multihull section, in the great Historical Multihulls thread at that! Bad forum etiquette of the worst kind,...

There's a whole thread on LR Challenge here on SA: http://forums.sailinganarchy.com/index.php?showtopic=127707 Some guys have been quite patient...
Well to be pedantic, the first part of your post is obviously relevant, it would be great to know what the other designers are up to - although I...
All this sort of stuff is getting discussed on SA. It would be good to keep this thread focussed on the designs themselves rather than AC...

Have you got any pictures of examples to illustrate that point? Looking at the mono AC bows I'm still struggling to see the same concept...
I'm a bit confused with this. Isn't the Davidson Bow more rating specific, designed to increase waterline length when a mono heels while staying...
Any windsurfers around? Might be able to copy that aspect of Kohler's design with a bit of reinforcing of the masts to stiffen them up a bit....
Harsh but fair! Can't be that much of a boat desert though if old wharrams are lying around!
The duo looks like an awesome design, just bookmarked that just in case! If you want a cat that will operate in actual surf, rather than just...
Good on yer for giving it a go Lance, look forward to seeing how the design evolves. I hope you ignore some of the comments on here and keep us...
Joris, is this a power or sail project? I'm going to assume power. I haven't seen a ship of this design, but Austal is the obvious example of a...
I don't think this is a correct analysis, but maybe would happen if the reverse bow was an add-on and not formed by the hull profile. A reverse...
