HSV Sea Slice - USA Navy Experimental Boat - YouTube
Well, if money were no object... Gotta go right for the things that might make sense if they weren't so darn expensive. A hull that doesn't...
Reading in between the lines, is there an underlying assumption that "all electric" isn't feasible for a cruising boat on a relative budget?...
Software... between MaxSurf or Rhino/Orca Which is easier to learn from scratch? Which has better stability analysis for trimarans?
Somehow I missed this one. I'd like to buy these plans, I've spent hundreds of hours researching, researching, researching... and THIS boat hits...
Mike Waters used the idea of sharp edges in his W17 trimaran to at least partially address this 2D/3D disparity, if I understand correctly - I...
Thank you for sharing your knowledge Tom. I'll do a little trial and error "test group / control group" experimentation. I'll rig two...
I read about the original Hobie 16's and Rudy Choy's Hawaiian cats having hulls which acted as leeway-countering foils - I extended the idea to...
Along the way, somebody mentioned a double gimbal system (I found this thread by searching the internet for -- double gimbal bed) To me it seems...
Sulzerman, I bought a set of Farrier F-85SR plans (28-ish feet) -- I confirmed via f-boat (the CEO answered the email) before I purchased them...

Thank you for the summary oldmulti, great info. Given I'm looking for a 0.8 beam to length ratio, it seems to make sense to change my thinking...
For my plans (foam sandwich) I've been leaning toward vinylester, mainly based on a statement in the middle of a long discussion somewhere I can't...
"considering poptop"... At this point I'm not. That's the first idea I ran with (for a few weeks at the end of last summer). So, *I was long ago*...
Thank you, thank you, thank you for posting THIS one. This has me returning to an old idea I discarded because I thought it was too simple.
Overall, I think "dihedral" was the idea I need to take away, I'll do 80 hours worth of research and calculation, and maybe figure it out, or...
"Pop top"... that's where my planning started when I first started this journey last August. As I've been putting together my ideas, I have moved...
By saying the word "diahedral" I think you've come closest to answering the question - now I have something to search on my own. I did hours and...
Thanks for the links jamez. I hadn't seen Erick Lerouge before, and I do like his Pulsar 33 Erik Lerouge...
