Wow, these just keep getting better. Any thoughts on the (SRD) Shannon Silver Design? Can this be lengthened and adapted to sailboat use?...
I also found this. It's called an (FDHF) Fast Displacement Hull Form. Is this a displacement or semi-displacement hull? Van Oossanen Fluid...
I just found this video. It's amazing how well this shape performs at moving flow-separation aft, keeping the vessel level at moderate speed,...
Thank you for the thoughtful and detailed answer. Do you have links to any images of the hull types you describe that would be suitable for...
Would it make sense to design catamarans and trimarans to be wider in the stern, to increase stern bouyancy? Are there any examples of this? What...
Yes, exactly. That's what I'd like to know. The details of this clearly need to be pinned down. I'm an expat (US) interested in live-aboard...
I suspect this is not strictly a design question; but, possibly more one of regulation. However, the discussion does enter the realm of design, if...
trying to delete post, no option.
Hello to all I've been thinking along these lines for some time and just wanted to introduce myself. I've been a sailing enthusiast for some...
BTW, my idea of a decoupled living space is tying a couple of plimps together side-by-side and hanging a Bernd Kohler KD860 from it, like in the...
I just saw this. Didn't Infinity Motors (Honda) build autos with decoupled passenger compartments back in the '90s. I think they called it "The...
This design is almost ten years old already; but I fell in love with it right away. It's basically a beach-able houseboat, on a trimaran base,...
Software for yacht interior design: Is anyone aware of any packages to do this? Offline is definitely better for controlling my assets and...
Icon .ico file for Carlson Hull Designer. (WINDOWS USERS) Just download the file and remove the .jpg bit, leaving "Hull Designer.ico" which you...
Yes, aluminium "tube-frame" construction. I like it :) It's also a great resource. That 44' sailing cat is just gorgeous. Lots of interior...
Very helpful Cheers mate
I really tend to agree with you; but, I kind of want to figure out a way to do it, for some reason. Don't worry, it's probably just a phase :-)...
HDPE Boat - Unsinkable Jukung http://iteroni.com/TiVGiIs_57o I don't think I have any questions. I'm just sharing this because I really like...
[ATTACH] I've been thinking a lot about rc-modeling multihull sailcraft lately and have been tinkering with the idea of starting with rectangular...
Yeah, the inverted rocker on top makes no sense, since the design is already aerodynamically dirty. I would rather have the safety of a flat deck,...
