Thanks Carl
I just saw the post on Typhoon software, I'll give it a try.
Thank you for this, it looks to be just what I'm looking for. Great video tutorials too. I just posted asking for help with T Rudders on a...
I'm keen on trying T Rudders on my cat. It's a Schionning Waterline 1480 that measures 15m and 7.2t to 7.8t depending on use. I am hoping to...
It's for controlling pitch on a 15m 7.5t catamaran. The objective is to increase speed in all directions and improve tacking angles through pitch...
What are the advantages and disadvantages to each ? Considering a T foil, narrow is stronger, less hangups but everyone seems to go for wide and...
From your comment I'm reading in to this that if i choose a symmetrical wing and set it to 0* AOA I should have little drag. Where should I go...
Looking at 0° AOA to steady state waterflow. The objective is to increase speed in swell on all points of sail particularly VMG upwind at the...
Hi Nick For me it is a PITA, I usually just pick a setting for the boards and leave them like that for the trip and that aggravates me. I...
I have a Schionning 1480 waterline catamaran, it tacks quite well upwind but I'd like to improve a couple of degrees. What changes would bring...
Does anyone have a link to the design of foiling guides.
Thanks all I have some 3mm dyneema onboard, I'll give it a go. I tried a dry spray on without any luck, I'll try a heavier marine grease....
I haven't been under to have a look but it seems, when I wiggle it "eyeball engineering" makes it look to pivot at, or near, the hull exit at the...
Not sure what the loads could be but on beam reach except for windage losses they (and the rudders) are trying to cope with the same loads that...
It's possible but even if I head straight to wind with more than 3 or so kn I can't budge them but if I go up and "wiggle" them they may move.
Thanks Doug, sounds like the right stuff. Do you imagine T guides, I don't want to introduce more turbulence underwater if possible. The...
Thanks The boards are in tight when loaded, I tried to move them with the winch and had a fair amount of load on it, probably equal to 10:1 by...
To adjust my daggerboards, I have to stop. They are a simple 2:1 pulley/rope system up and down. The boards just run glass on glass in a casing,...
