ok i'll put a single 1100lb on the centerline. getting complicated enough so that i need to model it in a bathtub before i commit. will need a...
first is only stable temporarily because of trapped air in the hull. probably stay stable for 10-20 seconds i guess. the reason i dont want full...
whats SOR ? the "professionals" can barely build a boat to standards. asking them to go out of their comfort zone isnt going to happen. ive asked...
not possible for the boat to be stuck on its side as the buoyancy on its side is less than the weight of the boat. it would tend to sink until it...
time line is not linear. between the last two images the submersible bilge pumps kick in to drain the water. they can do a max of 1200 gallons...
fine. here is the attached diagram. let me know if the unknown free surface effects will cause problems. orange = 200lb lift floats, both slightly...
as i said earlier the boat has baffles. 2 of them run crosswise across 80% vertically and double as storage. they divide the interior into 3...
thats what the baffles are there to reduce. divided into 3 partitions to reduce sloshing.
bladders will be pre inflated at the docks. the idea is to have something like airbags - never needed except in a real emergency. then it adds a...
and the only reason you feel that way is because the boat industry is not mass market. can you imagine buying a car which had not been crash...
well i'll remove the outboard and go to real world testing. try with 1000/1000 side and 200/200 top first.
will have dual baffles to reduce sloshing. more concerned about getting to that point. how much roof flotation is required and how high should it be ?
so 2200lbs at both sides and 2200 lbs on the roof ? sounds good. is there a calculation for this ? i dont want to overbuy, but obviously want a...
it flips up and down and locks into place. like i said...its already been taken care of. all i need is the calculation of what is the minimum...
well the 500lb lifting on either side would achieve the same effect without losing internal space so i dont see how that would help ? besides i...
well assume we can ignore all considerations of towing width by making the side bags retractable and deployable pre-launch in a locked...
so it will basically self right until it reaches the side and essentially float at a 80-ish degree angle until the water in the boat is pumped out...
which is what the side mounted 500 lb lifting bags should do though, correct ? once it is at a 90 degree angle the side bags should act to bring...
assuming the 500 pound bags are on the side of the boat bolted in place - not in the cabin, does this make the boat any different than a rib ?...
well i think youre wrong - because these guys do it already. http://www.henshaw.co.uk/ribs/39-how-does-it-work anyway, from what it looks like 2 x...
