Certainly curious for that area (South Louisiana) as the fishing is either shallow bayous or the choppy gulf waters. Perhaps they were trying to...
Been awhile since I posted. So my wife’s little brother, 15 years old wanted a project (haha!) and found this little gem of a hull. I have never...
I have been looking at glacier bays and world cats closely also. They serve my need for shallower water access to my family’s dock (1.5’-5’)...
I’m surprised I thought this would generate some conversation. There are benefits to a transom mounted outboard, less interference for fishing...
Thanks for the replies, I did lots of searches but didn’t see the type of discussion I’d like to have...good blend between practical and the...
Hello all, I’m fairly new to the site, although frequented it a bit while attending college for Naval Arch at UNO. I’m a NA, but do not work on...
Sele, I am a graduate of the University of New Orleans school of NAME. This is an EXCELLENT school that rivals michigan, webb, VT, MIT, etc. I...
Hey guys, I am designing a catamaran patrol boat with a combined diesel and diesel (CODAD) system in each demihull. All of the other examples...
Hey guys....I'm a naval architecture student and I'm strongly considering using a CPP system on my senior design project. I was hoping you could...
Thank you for the work. How much control do you have over the hullform? Can you fix key sections to control the hullform better? The...
Here are some of the parameters: Target max speed: 35 kn Displacement (total): 150 t - 146 m^3 LWL: 31 m 29-32 m BWL: 3 m 2.5-3.2 Boverall:...
You are correct, I have no idea about the software. I do know that time is of the essence and have a good grasp on 3 programs already I'm not sure...
Thanks for the offer Rick but we have a maxsurf model started already. I have access to maxsurf, rhino and cad and those are the ones often used...
Thank you for the offer to run our model through Flotilla, much appreciated. Hopefully we'll have the hull done in a week. Working diligently...
We will probably be using Maxsurf's Hullspeed as long as it is available to us and also NAVCAD (carefully and with constant suspicion). I'm...
Well thats simple enough. I've been told Michlet is a bit laborous, but i need a decent prediction tool for a 35m catamaran L/B~10 (not planing)...
Hello all, I need links to info on Michlet. I've read the standard manual about 3 times and still very fuzzy on how to use the input files. Are...
You can't go wrong with Introduction to Naval Architecture, Thomas Gillmer & Bruce Johnson. I have SD&C, PNA, etc, these are all more industry...
Think about it, the keyword in that question is local weights/pressure. Think bow slamming and engine mounts. Hydrostatic pressure is even all...
If you do the calculations and find out your TCG is not 0, and you think you may have transverse stability issues then you have to run through the...
