Although I have the highest regard for the work many engineers are doing to evaluate accelerations and loads on boats, I’ve often found that...
My design requires something better than lead. Gold has proved difficult to purchase by the ton at this point in history, so, I researched some...
WITHOUT FORMING From this thread: Max steel plate curve without forming ?...
What is a good number for the coeficient of scantling for a steel sail boat 20-40m? Yeah. So there is the question. CofS = weight of hull...

Anyone have any experience with this?
with respect to STRUCTURAL integrity (ignoring hydrostatic analysis for now), how string is "strong enough" defined for steel hulls around 25-35m...
After reading this thread: Controllable pitch prop, effective range...
Assuming medium weight to mean CAD tools like Rhino for hull design and perhaps Maxsurf for hydrostatic analysis, what is available for designing...
Seeing refits having these added. Anyone familiar with the numbers? ie how much drag is reduced, fuel saved in a given application. Yacht Design...
These are used in the east a lot. Anyone care to take a stab at the winch load required to move say 100 tons of boat like this factoring in...
What are the variables, what are the margins? Assuming the boat is a heavy metal hull trawler or somesuch, adding ballast inside the hull might...
Looking at this http://www.pla.co.uk/assets/pilotagedirections.pdf A pilot is required for: 4. VESSELS SUBJECT TO COMPULSORY PILOTAGE Subject to...
When considering a restoration project for older large steel boats 200+ tons, it becomes rapidly apparent that getting them in and out of the...
It seems to take very little power to move even large and heavy full displacement hulls up until about 6-8kts. Then the power curve vs speed seems...
The threadvon Watertight compartmets was interesting but without sealing plumbing and elec ducts, the concept is flawed. How do you run these...
