Idea is to modify an oc-1 with head sail only rig jib,genoa,genaker or some similar sail. As he canoes& kayak are very limited in many terms...
Its a joke right? What are you trying to achieve
Kayak or canoe can be paddled from the word go by anyone its not any different than Hobie in that respect ,advanced techniqes take more time but...
It still is much more efficient than anything else because of the size of loads it can carry otherwise i might bet on the train.
In previous mail i am not debating foil kayaks that are just show boats but kayaks and canoes VS peddal craft, hobbies are numerous but most of...
Start blowing bubbles under the hull it will dramaticaly reduce friction drag and has already been done on ferries
If you put it that way then propeler driven human powered boats are destined to disapear altogether.100+K kayaks& canoes are sold in US alone...
Flyak evolved in to final configuration under Nelo brand but is now sort of a show boat and of only limited production ,as the boat was only for...
Nope the hull wouldn't achieve flight before foil produced lift of 87 kg and one drag shows foil only drag and other hull only drag so i don't...
Yes Naca63412
hull is as slippery as they come but i admit that the drag analyis of the hull on reduced displacments might be flawed as the software probably...
Rambo and Clarkie set the open record in 2007 with time of around 32h.26m and on handicap 26h14m the placed second.WTF is this handicap.The boat...
That is the reason i first only considered foil assisted instead of full foiling concept ,here foils would only provide part of the lift to reduce...
Kayak competitions,marathons and triathlons and multisport(mostly include some level III WW) events only allow kayaks and canoes on some races...
dont get me wrong your ideas are probably sound but i am making a kayak not any other human power boat and this is sort of like making a racing...
power All valid points . But i have to disagree with ideas for an ideal design . We have been working on various designs ,and i have to say...
foiling foil assisted (hull still in the water) option is considered only if the gain to be had is big enough ,you know most people when they...
steps i am aware that they are more than likely not needed and/or of enough benefit to be worth the trouble.It is just an experiment ,un like...
steps Steps are of similar concept as in powerboats and prevent water going along the hull and hugging it longer than needed .So as the boat...
