CarlosK2, this is an awesome analysis. Sorry I have been absent, I will be back this weekend to look all this over with more attention. Things...
I looked at pictures of side profile of wharrams and took a tape measure to my computer screen. I could not exactly pinpoint the CE, but I can...
You are saying to place the CE of the sails over the center of lateral plane area, which you are equating to be the CLR? On a Wharram the sail CE...
I understand about balancing the forces, and what the CE of a sail is. What I don't understand is how to determine the location of the CLR(center...
But the center of the underwater area is a different thing than the center of lift of a hull under motion with an angle of attack. Why would the...
All these mathematics are gibberish to me. I can do basic math well but these equations might as well be an alien transmission from alpha...
So what I'm left with is building a small scale boat with the same relative dimensions and experimenting with sail placement? It sounds like an...
You are saying that the center of lift of such a hull is at 50% chord, as opposed to a symmetrical foil or flat plate which is 25%? I could see...
Sorry, I think you two misunderstood the question. I meant for the hulls acting like keels, acting as lateral resistance. I'm trying to figure out...
How does one determine the approximate center of lift for a deep vee hull, such as on a wharram?
I did a lot of research on this(and I used to work in solar). You basically take a 20% penalty in overall output when flat mounting solar modules,...
"It pays to have an open mind, but not so open that your brains fall out." I can't figure why, in a world full of actual conspiracies, that...
Many responses on this forum are condescending, pompous, and "subtly" (sometimes not so subtly)insulting, and often completely and utterly...
Thanks for your contribution... I have read and watched many accounts of people who were put at the mercy of the sea with failed rudders, sail...
