That's a useful criteria that I hadn't thought of in that way.
Thanks Alan, that is exactly the information I was looking for. Does this mean that ALL of those means of prevention listed must be included, or...
Could you share some examples or pictures of boats that have increased the interior volume by using a flush deck?
That's a good point. In my case I'm thinking of a catamaran or trimaran with a large living space surrounded by windows, so natural light should...
I maybe should have been clearer in my initial question. I'm specifically looking at catamaran and trimaran designs, not a monohull, so in my...
Tradition was that a yacht didn't have a motor and docked by sail or rowing power. That has clearly changed with technology. The context of my...
If there is no standing rigging (unstayed mast), and all running rigging is on the foredeck (which would have access), those criteria would be...
Thanks, I wasn't aware of the term. Lots of interesting design ideas for monohulls there. Thanks.
My current rough plan is to have easy access to the fore and aft decks through the house rather than around it. The only time I can see possibly...
I've gotten interested in boat design but I'm not an experienced sailor. I am however an engineer and I've been trying to assess many of the...
Thanks, that was both illustrative and informative.
That's exactly what I mean. Thanks for expressing it in a clearer way.
It does, but it still leaves the question of why the general airfoil shape is backwards. Essentially the pointy side is at the bow and the more...
@philSweet: Thanks, thinking in terms of a shockwave boundary helps.
