A new interesting take on the bow. An exageration of the Hugo Boss IMOCA 60. Maybe it should have it's own thread. The Carkreek Fast 40 Ran.
Hi Tansl. Take a look at the picture of the scupper again. It doesn't work in the same way a thru hole or open transom work. On a sailboat,...
Thank you Joakim. Like I said, I could not see any evidence of scoop on the underside of these boats. A drain/fill combo scoop is quite common...
Thanks everyone. Didn't mean to cause a stir. As an avid dinghy sailor/racer as a kid, I am very familiar with the scupper mentioned above. I was...
It's getting over my head but I see what you're saying. This looks like the same effect a wing has on air pressure to me. The water, unable to...
Is it possible that the introduction of the scupper into the flow of the water decreases the water pressure? I may not have made this part clear....
I don't want to test your patience on this but my understanding is the working mechanism behind the Venturi is the pressure difference across the...
PS. When does the Venturi effect come into play?
Thanks Tansl; This goes more to an argument than a case study. A sail boat failed to transfer it's windward ballast to the leeward tank before...
1. Will a water ballast tank below the water line drain with the scupper open while the boat is moving? Air valve open. 2. If the 1 1/2"...
Thanks Doug. The Mini is under rule constraints. Still wondering what the theoretical narrowest boat (taking displacement into account as well)...
This... "Historically IMOCA 60s have taken this to the maximum, gaining extra righting moment through ultra-beamy hull shapes and canting...
It was probably the first one except neither boat looks like very narrow and I thought that was one of the benefits of DSS. What would be the...
Very interesting topic. I like that the DSS system can breathe new life into older boats. It was previously mentioned that the new IMOCA designs...
