Maximum 4 occupants at a time. (the family that would like to come for a full journey will not be able to come, therefore 2 of them will switch...
I'll share what I know. Dual 150hp Volvo Pentas instead of dual 260hp's, so the GPH doesn't seem off. Displacement figure very close - but twice...
So i'm playing around with a more specific idea (previous posts being feeling some things out, this being aimed at something less general) right...
Well not really. :^) But any "dual use" business possibility I can get out of it makes it a little more tolerable to the missus, whom i'm hoping...
EDIT: If you just read this already, I expanded instead of adding another post to the end since I still don't have any responses. Sorry it's been...
Well my solution for that is twin engines. Yes it costs more than one but i'd consider it a must have without a full time engineer on board....
Sounds great, any idea where I can find such charts in detail now? :) Even if it's in some engineering text.
But people have! Before we had modern computers capable of CFD and such, blade element analysis was considered accurate enough in the subsonic...
Yes, but some of those things depend a little more on what kind of voyage it is. A weeks long "nothing to do but spend time aboard" is going to...
My question though is whether any other monohull will go 28 knots on 900hp at 18k displacement. My assumption was not? I'm aware that speed...
Thanks for the specific book suggestion and i'll add it to the reading queue. Though i'll admit saying hmm to a degree... sounds like the guy I...
Thanks for some of those examples, I wasn't aware the boat could exceed 78 feet at all/didn't realize it was just waterline length. I'll try...
My understanding was "except for narrow length to beam ratios". I'll admit being a fan of what i'm reading here...
Realized I should just make a separate post for this... for aviation enthusiasts there is a software called X-Plane which uses Blade Element...
