Good catch. Also a rowing pun there around kinetic energy equation :)
Good info on the fairing, I'll add that plus fair in the cross member. Any tips on where to get a cheap cockpit throttle control and steering for...
The motor depth seems about right. When the person is sitting in the cockpit its pretty level. The pontoons are never fully submerged and don't...
My sons and I built our "Ergs Don't Float" coaches launch from a 60s vintage 15' catamaran we found on Craigslist for $200. Designed it all in 3d...
Good observation about wording- I meant mechanical not manual. Difference between 1.6 and 2.2 is purely power output and power density. The...
The catamaran design is growing on me especially in light of this study. But wouldn't the catamaran hulls have to be planing to get to 15mph...
You can take a 1.6L Peugeot/Citroen engine (DV 6) and replace the injection pump and injectors with a manual Bosch from a TDI. This lets the...
Ok, call it 3" then. Needs to be low wake.
Magnitude zero to peak 6".
Not sure about wake height. Perhaps below 6"?
Good advice all, thanks. Cruising speed will typically be about 10 mph but it still needs to go 15 mph top speed and I don't care how much fuel I...
Thanks. That works out to about 18' long which makes sense. Idea on my other questions about design style?
Need advice on a personal project design I have in mind. Here are the mission requirements: * minimum wake size/height (very important)...
