If I were designing a sailing yacht for a specific rule, such as 12 meter, the task would be very difficult, but the goal very simple. That is,...
I've toyed with the idea of building a test tank so I can test my pet theories on models before committing to a build. But the conventional...
I needed a break and got involved in other projects, so sorry I haven't posted anything about my stand-up paddle board/sit-on-top kayak design....
I happened to come across this while doing some researching. Perception Hi Life 11.0 Stand-Up Paddle Board Kayak | DICK'S Sporting Goods...
I may fail in my attempt at proving my theory, not because the theory is wrong and I need to learn the basics of NA, as someone suggested, but...
I think my biggest problem isn't I actually came upon that same solution by accident, while using the Shape 3D can program. I was having...
Building any boat, even something like this, is a big, unpleasant project. If, after playing around with the CAD program, I'm not satisfied that...
Why stick to my guns? One of my other interests is traditional archery. I shoot recurves and long bows. I was on a traditional archery forum and...
Distribution of underwater volume. It is becoming clear to me that this is where I was/am headed. From above (plan) the underwater shape would be...
But they didn't need to have a round entry to break the rule. Earlier 12 meter boats had the overhang but didn't have that round entry. They...

The twelve meter connection. It's funny the original America's cup boats were brought up as "proof" my theory wasn't good because later America's...
I'm not married to the hybrid concept. I might change my mind. I was leaning toward a "boat" that was a little wide for a kayak and a little...
I've been thinking about that, but I'm very early in the process. I haven't even learned how to use the design program yet. I work almost ten...
Thank you. I always thought it was a speed predictor because I've seen people use it as such, in arguments, on numerous occasions. Such as, my...
I can tell you I'm not making up stuff on purpose. I have my faults, but that's not me. I'm sometimes wrong, but not deliberately so. I have...
The same can be said for Froude number. I believe it is possible to design two boats such that they have the same Froude number, but one...
Obviously I know all that. I'm trying to find a loophole in the normal understanding of how water craft work at the surface. There probably...
Hey, watch your language. I have no idea what you just said, but it sounded fantastic. The obvious question is, does this mean my idea stinks or...
Feel free, but I doubt if it fits you as well.
