I love the http://www.seaski.com.au/ concept idea but it looks pig ugly. I am trying to figure out if you could achieve similar results with a...
Well it was just a thought experiment. True but in water foils have so many disadvantages. The holy grail is a boat that goes well under...
Not far off lol
Aha, I think you are hitting the core of where my questions lie. How much does that angle of attack affect the efficiency in displacement mode? I...
So I'm right in thinking that it is just the lack of hydrodynamic lift that is the issue? Conceptually then should there be any reason why a...
Hi people. This is just a hypothetical as I'm trying to understand the conceptual limitations of the various situations a boat can be in. 1....
Not if the foils were recessed into the area between the skis a la hysucat, that would leave 2 flat stable surfaces you could rest on....
Here's a vid: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t5qrmqFxSws It's not exactly armageddon but to me it looks like it cuts through the smaller stuff...
Hydrofoils are very cool but too restricted in their use. That's what attracted me to the idea of skis in the first place, you could make...
They look pretty skinny, bet they don't have much wetted area. I wonder what speed that thing needed to be going to get enough lift to use them?
[ATTACH] That's kind of what I was thinking. If you can imagine those sponsons having a flat underside. Make 'em pointy and wave piercing no?
Well that's where I see the advantage of the ski, in rough water. Surely the low cross sectional area and planar shape would allow the ski to...
Believe it or not I'm in love with this concept: http://www.seaski.com.au/ The wig effect kills the looks and requires planar struts for the twin...
