outrigger hydro

Finished 2.5ltr, 5ltr or national modified class hydroplane
100%carbon/kevlar center with okoume/spruce sponsons
wing sections will be added over spar/tubes

 

Who did the engineering and hydrodynamics ?

 

That is crazy!!!!

 

"Finished 5ltr/NM"

Does that mean you are looking for fuel efficiency, not speed ?

 

It's race class watson.

Dan - WOW!

 

Don't let Hoyt see this. (sorry, OP, an inside joke.)

um, when does she get power?

 

P.S. you still do work with models at all? I said model and full size are way different when it comes to tweaking and sizing features but I was corrected.

Oh and WOW again on the pics at the top. I want the house next to your garage. Then I can peak every morning at what you're up to

 

Looks like a large rc boat outrigger everything right down to the strut and rudder!!

 

Yeah but it is really sexy looking.

 

Too late, ha! Where do you keep the cooler?

 

Thats good - so perhaps a few more details of planned performance besides fuel consumption would be fun.

 

Well, why are the sponsons designed for wavewacking and out of wood? Looks cool, I'd like one that could dive....

 

magnifique

Look like formula 1, but why target fuel economy ? looks to me she's a runner

 

"Finished 5ltr/NM"

"5 litre is the hydroplane class. Don't see any fuel consumption given. There's 5 litre, 6 litre, etc. Think NM is National Modified class."

not 5 litres per nautical mile ...... there you go, I learn something every day

Thanks Impish -

Pity - I thought we were getting some craft designed to saving our precious fuel - not chewing it up and spitting it away for no good reason. :-(
