Windrider Rave is possibly faster in high wind/ flat water conditions, I believe its about 18ft (5,2m).
Ok thanks, I found some internet pages like this one: http://www.rexresearch.com/waveboat/waveboat.htm ...interesting...although looks a bit...
There is two ways of looking at this: 1.) The toughness of an inflatable or RIB is hard to match, because it is less rigid. Therefore,...
Interesting to see that people still read this thread I started 6 month ago. Since then I have moved on, already tried a flexible foil but...
Good point
Tip cavitation Very good explanation Daiquiri, Thanks!! :) So they are simply sacrificing some wing efficiency in lower speeds in order to...
You could be right, but then why not change it for the next...
I´m working on the design of hydrofoils and at this point I´m on the research stage so brainstorming all sorts of ideas both good and bad helps me...
Sorry, nothing personal.. I really appreciate your input. Thankyou! Although it does not answer my question... ...I still take note.
Hydrofoil wingtips Then, why not just change the angle of the whole foil instead of using angled "down" wingtips? There is still no...
By limited range of use I mean that they are unpractical because they can only be used in specific conditions. For speedsailing with offshore wind...
Here is another one... These boats have a limited range of use, although I didnt say it wouldnt work.
Ok, I can buy this since the angle of the hydrofoil is at 45 degrees it works a little different. But since the force is vertical + horisontal you...
For a windsurfer, the thing you call "veal heel (?)" is pretty common. I also noticed the angle at which moth foilers sail and then a monofoiler...
Can anyone explain what the purpose is of "angled hydrofoils tips" on boats such as eg Hydroptere and Groupama? And how come they are facing down...
With enough power any hullshape will plane but... Have you considered making longer pontoons to maximise the displacement speed?
Worlds fastest sauna pontoonboat Topspeed 15,5 knots !! Size 20 x 6 meter 2 x 160 diesel engines Glassfiber construction Weight is unknown...
I bought one of the first shipment (in Sweden) of the VPLP designed Multi23 tri (Hull No. 11) and all four of these center hull where claimed due...
Thanks alot Porta and Matt for some really good formulated answers! It will help me alot. Stefan
Yes team philips got attention but it is arguable if that is positive publicity, some people say all publicity is possitive. You are absolutely...
