Yes, I agree that perhaps my initial thoughts for the project was overzealous. However, the gentlemen in question certainly did not lead me...
@TANSL , I appreciate it! I'll let you know when I decide which way I decide to do this project. One thing, for sure, though, there will be a...
Yes, I will certainly get a survey done if I go this route. Thanks :)
A little longer that I would like, but a tempting candidate for a refit, <$30000... 1957 Mathesison 41 Tug, Wyandotte(Detroit) Michigan -...
Come to think of it, I'll add this to my list of possibilities. A full custom refit of an old (but seaworthy) existing hull would be far easier...
No need to apologize :)
Do you guys think the best plan of action would be to work from plans at this time? Versus a self design, that is.
Yes, radio aerials, radar mounting, and signal flag hoist. My concern with a displacement cat would be the increased beam, but I will certainly...
Okay here we go: SOR for M/Y Starhop ------------------------ Must be at least 30 feet Must have a range of at least 700 nautical miles Must be...
I can post my full SOR, if that would be helpful :)
I thought that assuming a displacement hull, the max hull speed for a 30 foot boat would be 1.34 x √30 = 7.34 knots?
I fear that going faster than about 7.5 knots for a 30 footer would require me to consider a planing hull, if my mental mental math is correct?
Yes, that I can do. I have the free version of DELFTship right now, but I am also open to other software.
Thank you for the warm welcome, sir! I'd have to say basic, in both. I plan to take a comprehensive course in marine navigation before I go much...
Hey Y'all! Been lurking here for a while. Anyway, I will be attending college down in Florida next year, and I am looking to build a...
