Hey there, I'd contact Rolf Eliasson (Rolf Eliasson Yacht Design AB) to at least get a dialogue going. He's the designer behind the 20m, 12m and...
Hey! I attach a file for you where I created two surfaces. The key thing to both methods below is to first run curves along the hull as close...
Yes, the use of the GA could hardly be depated. I think though, that what Gonzo means is that without knowing the full geometry of the hull it...
That I don't argue against :)
Yes, it's a beuatiful boat and she appears to be in very good shape. The QBBL is important in determining hull shape but in a displacement boat...
Just buy one. http://jfdefence.com/sealpod/index.php
What's wrong with her stern? Keep in mind that unless perpendicular to the sections, as it would be in a flat bottomed hull, the buttocks nor the...
There are shipping companies that are specialized in shipping boats, and those who are not specialized but do it to fill up deck space. They do it...
This comes to mind: http://youtu.be/JvKIWjnEPNY
Thank you :)
Yes. This is how I do it. I'm not a professional designer, just a student at YDS. Prior to the course I went out and bought all the stuff for...
Take a look at the junk rig. Simple and unstayed. Sail can be sewn from cheaper materials. There is ablot of information on...
Cat boat? :) Par is right though. That is a schooner. The only example I can think of where a boat type is defined by hull and rig and not...
Try calculating it manually for a comparison. With 18 meter hulls and 8 knots a large portion of your resistance will be frictional. Either do an...
If it's a true triangle there won't be much buoyancy in the bow, or anywhere else except for the aftmost foot or so. The bow will risk digging...
Never mind. It came back up today. Cyber attack.
Hello! I'm currently enrolled at MacNaughton YDS. Early this week the website www.macnaughtongroup.com went offline, it appears as if the...
I find that autotrim works well when your curves are very exact, but if they are not sometimes the surface might end up on the wrong side of one...
I know this is a rather old thread but this might help someone. If you have a set of lines and if you can live with trimmed surfaces you can...
If your only goal is to create CAD files for CNC cutting, any free 2D CAD program will work as long as it's able to produce files of the required...
