Here is a video of the rig sailing: [MEDIA] There are a bunch more videos on this channel of the same or similar rigs.
What is your take of this type of sail? [IMG] Sails — Holopuni Canoes https://www.holopunicanoes.com/sails Scroll down to the Hss. [MEDIA]...
Thanks
Thanks, I was more interested in what the ideal lead would be on different points of sail, like 2% close hauled, 1% close reach, 0 beam reach,...
If you had a rig with an adjustable CE, how would you change the lead on different points of sail? i.e. More lead for running less on a beam...
From what I'm reading it seems that laminar flow or at least attached flow is best for lift but harder to maintain in real life, vortices can...
Thanks. My thinking was if you could make use of vortex lift off the wind, and therefore more forgiving sheeting like a crab claw, but use the...
BLUF: Q does/could a fractional rig use vortex lift over the mainsail? I have been reading about delta airfoils (sails and wings) and how the...
Would X-Bow type geometry work on small boats say 20-40ft monohulls or multihulls or are they more of a larger vessel thing? I tried searching...
Great reply. Thanks
You are correct, the pdf only duplicates Marchaj's results with the Santa Cruz sail not compares it to the bermuda. So would it be possible to...
Thanks so much for the input. I was wonding if the swept luff of the headsail would generate the vortex if it was at the same angle as a crab...
Sorry, I was wondering if a Bermuda rig with a similar AR to a crab claw would generate the vortex lift while still having the benefits of being a...
BLUF: My question is: Wouldn't a bermuda rig with similar AR offer these same characteristics with most the additional benefits of the bermuda...
I have been following Rob's work with interest. As far as I can tell only the tepukes carry the weight to windward like a harry.
Thanks so much, that is about what I thought, but just thinking can get you into trouble. SWATH vessels often have active control systems to avoid...
So if you took a long kayak and a short kayak connected them to a platform high enough that the waves wouldn't break over it and added a small...
Baidarkas don't make great family boats, and while umiaks do fill the purpose it seems that multihulls do have some advantages, especially in the...
Would a hull like the ones on the tepukes in the video smooth out chop while still rising for larger swell?
What are the performance and safety considerations of a semi submarine hull like these?[MEDIA]
