That's probably because the term used in the question, is incorrect and misleading. When a vessel is stable, the KG (G) is below the metacentric...
Aahh...back in the day when we could have proper reasoned and unbiased debates with posters seeking answers.
That's what Sales, Hype and Marketing is for...to make you feel you have something new, unique and different. Who said anything about...facts! :oops:
Also noted on their website too: Juliet Marine // http://www.julietmarine.com/ But I don't know what one of our designs is doing on their ticker...
I recognise that design :D:D For the length/size of cat you want/need, I wouldn't worry what CTVs or any other boats looks like, in that sense....
The deeper forefoot does several things concomitantly - added damping, maintains a longer waterline length. As the hull moves through the water,...
The span from deck to bilge/keel is the full span. The stringer that is located midspan is not considered as a support to be 1/2 span. The...
Have you calculated this or estimated this or read this? And is this at one heel angle or across many, and at what speeds v angle?
Im not sure how many times I can keep saying this, it is the Centre of Lateral Resistance, CLR, not LIFT! That's your issue why you're going wrong.
That it is. The CE – centre of effort – is sometimes called centre of pressure, it is the resultant total aerodynamic force of the sail; at the...
As noted here:
Not sure what this means...?
Statement of Requirements
In addition to the good replies noted above, you have a whole lot more to to do. What you are essentially seeking is "the balance". That being...
Again, it depends upon the thickness and your skill level. Often a single pass weld may be enough, depends upon the above and the set up. But if...
To echo what JEH has written, there is often no real definitive reason why some things are - it can usually just be a "gut feeling" at that time...
The reason fro that is simple. It stiffens up the stem/bow region and aids in impact resistance. Most often in these small run about type of...
Depends upon the thickness. See below as your guide: - [ATTACH] Unfortunately, that is where a little knowledge is dangerous. All aluminium has...
Welcome to the forum KatM... We would need a bit more information for the duty of the vessel. Typical range, endurance, speeds, payload, area of...
Ok, foolishly I shall bite again.. Not without you doing the prerequisite back ground reading, to begin to understand the questions you are...
