Fastwave, Nice picture, but under those conditions the boat would be falling off the wind. The line of action of the sails and the hull have to...
The reason the CE is pushed aft has nothing to do with the lateral distance between board cl and sail cl. The reason is that A class hulls are...
Well that was unhelpful. If he could have drawn it he probably wouldn't have to have asked the question.
So the question is - why would you care? Is there something going to happen that makes it bad, assuming you are correct? What kind of cat are you...
The Tornado was designed in the early 60's. Not a pinched stern. The stern is as wide as the mid body. The more modern daysailing cats are just...
The advice above is the best advice you will get. Modern designed boats supported by the designer will be cheapest when you finish the boat....
On a Tornado, all of this is controlled in a very simple manner. Going upwind, the crew weight is moved forward, until the bottom of the stern is...
Too much for me to care about listing. If the exterior design does not have some common sense, then I don't want one, or care to discuss it. I...
My mistake, got carried away believing those were renders, instead of photos. Still looks like a bunch of senseless details.
I'd be more impressed with engineering drawings and not renders. Star Wars did a lot of "renders" of vehicles that can't be built, or won't work....
Give up guys. This is a classic secretive explanation because the OP thinks he has reinvented the wheel. He is not listening, or doesn't...
Pictures if you actually want to discuss your design. If this is just an ad then we don't need them. I lost you early on with your obvious "code...
Am I the only one who can recognize a joke? What is the WEF anyway? It's not much of a joke that 180' blades cannot be recycled, except in...
how about some sketches on how these points would be built. Sounds extremely difficult to "slide" the outer beams up the inner beam pivot points....
So are you trying to reduce the beam for trailering by pivoting the ama/crossarm? How will you "slide (the beams) up the axis point a few feet?
