That might be so. I can imagine you'd need a certain degree of velocity and mass in order to fully pierce a wave....
Thanx a lot, so far, good people. Seems I have a lot to read through. I had a smaller motor yacht in mind, but I'm curious abot any design to run...
I know there are a few takes on the concept. I'm particularly interested in mono-hulls, trimarans or catamarans with quite substantial hulls/...
Thank you for filling me in on that. I suppose it's my not so precise wording that somehow seems to haunt this thread. From the onset the idea was...
You are quite correct on that David. The height limiting factor here is the ability to passing bridges without having them opened. Strömsholm...
Why couldn't the moderators have kept my thread in the multi-hull section, I wonder... You know DCockey is quite correct on his assumptions, to...
A bit of an addendum to the original post: Canals of this country and probably other Nordic countries may be a bit different from those in the UK,...
You know you are quite correct on that. My sincere thanks. Spelling has a tendency of being confused and then that confusion spreads until you no...
Good point there. Yes: it's prime design features should be sea handling. But that's where the dilemma comes in, isn't it. It's relatively easy to...
It is smaller because on one hand of practical and logistic reasons and on the other should I max out the specs we'd really be pushing it. E.g....
Not necessarily fast per se, but certainly I'd like it to push on a little quicker than a single hull of displacement design. Could you explain...
But of course. This is a boat I want to build and wouldn't mind some experimenting, though perhaps not on the cutting edge academic level.
You think so? Would you care to elaborate on that, please?
I'm to design a type of boat that is ruggied enough for canals yet having sea handling abilities that can easily accept 1m/ 2 - 3' waves on larger...
