Hi Gary Brown, that sounds logic, I'll try that later and post the results. I'm using Autohydro by the way. Unfortunately, the manual is not...
Model Alright, I've created a very simplified 3D model to show you guys so you could understand better what I am talking about. If anybody...
That's quite a good point. However, according to the classification only the boat needs to be self-righting without paxe on board as it is...
Understood. That's why the 2nd curve shows the boat including additional buoyancy to avoid crossing h=0 ;-)
Hi again, I've calculated heeling arm curves for the open and closed version with and without a floating bag. I've uploaded the heeling lever...
Hi, thank you for your quick response! I'm aware of the floating-bag-spoiler-solution many boats use, I just don't think those look very...
Hello everyone, I'm currently designing a small boat (around 8m length). The boat is relatively wide (3m) and is designed as a hard chine hull....
do you happen to have that publication? That would save me a trip to HSVA for looking up in the yearbook myself ;-)
Thanks... I hate this unit-mess, maximum confusion assured. Case closed for now, thanks again for your quick help.
Okay, I figured that the output likely is something like R/W = [lb]/[lbs], so I'm correcting the weight as well as the resistance-force...
wow, quick response, thank you already! Just to get it right: the units required are meters and tons? (why this is not stated in the diagram is...
Hello everybody, I've got a relatively small and "fat" hull (8m length, 2.8m width). The hull represents a classical hard-chine planing hull...
