What about a dan leech design 8.5m powercat? Plywood construction, comes in a full cnc cut kit, trailerable, about as much interior volume as a...
There's the inside of a MOD70 foil. I can't remember where I read it, it may have been an article by Paul Bieker, but it was talking about using...
Disclaimer: Im not a boat designer. this is purely a hypothetical design of a hull shape ive been thinking about for a while. What do the homies...
any reputable rigger should be able to sort this out for you. what is your shroud base (width) measurement? on our steel 345 the chainplates were...
I'm building a foil for an 8.5 metre power cat, from memory the boat weighs about 2.5t and the foil is designed to carry ~1 ton @ 20kts or there...
and the all seeing algorithm just conveniently popped up with this First footage of new electric seagliders coming to New Zealand...
not quite what you're talking about but some US alphabet soup agency experimented with foils on a grumman goose back in the day [MEDIA]
I have tried something similar on a SUP back in the day. The board (pictured) was 3.6m long, 700mm wide and essentially a double ended hull...
And paint!
Straighten up the curved sides of the wedge and extend the planing surface either side of the outboard, but by this point its just about easier to...
You could always extend the hull either side of the outboard, 600-800mm is ample length to turn the round bilge into a hard chine, curving down...
Yeah that is correct, this is a trial horse. theyve been mucking around with flying mini 650s for a couple of years now so it must be time to try...
Surely they would use a flight control autopilot for offshore, like the ultim trimarans. My guess is the main benefit to this fully foiling...
the old L'occitane imoca has been fitted with rudder foils (on the port rudder only) , making it the first imoca to achieve full CONTROLLED...
That was an entertaining read; you guys will argue about absolutely anything. Not to reignite old arguments, but purely looking at wand position...
You may also notice a couple of the boats have removed the foam fairing around the bow knuckle, which was there as a bit of a safety measure in...
When a boat starts planing the water tends to stick to the hull, wrapping around the turn of the bilge and up the topsides (see attached image of...
The chines are there for dynamic lift at speed, they will do nothing for low speed performance. The IMOCA class has a rule limiting bow volume...
Mupwi have you ever done an offshore passage? have you ever sailed on a 30-40ft multihull and experienced what it takes to average 18kts boat...
Its actually the opposite, IMOCA and the Volvo 65s have their keel pins inclined (front of the pin is higher than the back) anywhere from 2° to...
