You are being extremely rude. I suggest you a different approach: if you find that a comment is not helping you, dont reply to it. To insult...
The main advantage of a scow bowed vessel, is related to the increased RM. The shape of a scow, seen in plan view, is simply wider than a...
I'm thinking about cruising cat that you see chartered in the summer. Honestly I never sailed a large cat so I do not have first hand impression....
We will see. I do not know to be honest, I just like to see new ideas tested. I think scows could be in some way the monohull answer to...
Scow Bows are a thing now. Will see. Stay tuned Fast Cruising Scow - VPLP Design https://www.vplp.fr/plaisance/asap/ this is a VPLP project for...
I love the Baluchon. Scow with keel. Quite stiff they say
That is an interesting vessel. But... looks like they still have to find a solution to scow's aesthetic How is it performing?

I read the book and I felt in love with sharpies too. For a while I dreamed of building a - much smaller - one. I know well Croatia and I think...
Thanks for this, I think I will look at similar design. :)
Dear all, I have a doubt about leeboard dimensioning. The general rule that I found for keels, is to have a surface of 4% of the sail area. But,...
