What is not what who said? ;)
You could try attaching two small aluminum canoes with covered tops, between your hulls in the aft, to increase aft buoyancy and fix the trim....

The idea is to use the diverging bow wave from the center-hull/keel to generate extra lift on the side planing hulls? Might work better if the...
"the low displacement of the amas means they submerge deeper before effectively resisting thus a slower rolling motions than with a true...
I believe a stabilized tandem-monohull would have a similar frequency effect, maybe less so in beam seas though.
Yes, extending the hull aft with a platform would definitely help. They have done that for many navy ships with good results - they call them...
The ferry has been running for a while and I hear that the passengers rarely get sea-sick, the sober ones. One reason is that the vertical...

How about waterjets
Nice story! Thanks for sharing. Yep, when I first started with CFD as a student 15 years back we were using the DoD supercomputing machines to...
No, the bow and stern remain unmodified. The extra displacement is added only in the midsection, and that too only below the waterline so that the...
Have you considered a planing quadmaran design? For a light 24' boat, the individual hull lengths could be about 8' and the short hulls would...
