    So i must increase waterplane area. That will decrease the problem. I cannot completely solve this problem without using monohull because almost all highspeed craft types sensitive to changes in weight.
    I think vessel like these will be good for me

    In fact, those boats are 14 meters and over, and I doubt that they are comfortable with the waves of one meter

    No 7-10 m vessel will be comfortable in 1m waves. I am trying to find the best.

    "Comfortable" is subjective.

    I am talking about vertical acceleration. 0,5-0,7g cause seasickness. So vertical acceleration must be below than 0,5g.

    I doubt vertical accelerations are directly related to seasickness, and also restricting your vertical accelerations to below 0.5g will be a job and a half.

    I am comparing models. Maxsurf gives me some result. I am trying to lower the vertical acceleration. How am i going to measure the comfort? Do you have another suggestion?

    There is no particular wind or wave direction. But %85 of the wave height is below 1,2 m.

    I think it is very difficult to arrive at a comfortable boat for a small number of passengers, make the boat small enough so it is economical to run, not so good for the passenger;s comfort, make it large enough that it will be comfortable, economy may suffer, you could have a boat that accomodates 30 or 40, only carrying ten, which hurts the operator.
