    Thank you for posting your spreadsheet. Hope to have mine finished after new year and will post it here. It's been on back burn abit.

    Glad I could help. If anyone out there finds an error, let me know please.
    Regarding the use of the spreadsheet, fill the boxes that are coloured yellow with your input; this includes the LCG's (LSP in the program), and velocities, as well as the various parameters regarding the vessel. Click on the 'Voortgaan' putton (proceed), and sit back and wait. The values of resistance and thrust will be calculated. Further on down are calculations for rollstability etc. using various theories from Lewandowski etc.
    I am currently updating this spreadsheet to include planing catamarans based on the theory of Lee (republished by Insel) who builds upon the theory formulated by Savitsky and which takes into account the distance between hulls. If anyone out there has empirical formulas for cats that are as 'easy' to use as Savitsky (without going into triple integral formulas etc.!!) please let me know, otherwise I shall proceed with this one.

    Password to Unlock the remainder of spreadsheet for translation(Prestasie.xls)

    Dear Sir;

    I was wondering if you were willing to divulge the Password for your resistance spreadsheet posted on boatdesign.net(Prestasie.xls). I want to unlock the remainder of spreadsheet for translation and use if for my senior design project at school(working on a high speed sportfish concept).

    Thanks,

    Brent

    Brent, I have written another spreadsheet for Savitsky/Hadler/Blount etc. (in English) that is cleaned up and easier to use. I will sent that to you if you desire. The calculations are hidden but I can give you the details to unlock it if you need to translate any Dutch/Afrikaans that I made notes or references in (old habit I picked up studying in South Africa).

    Spreadsheet

    Here is my spreadsheet. I've made it easier to use, translated it into English with a help file and hidden the calculations (password is Dingo to view it on a separate sheet). I've still yet to add catamaran resistance results, but will do so as soon as I have time. Any problems or errors, let me know please. By the way, be careful when predicting drag around the hump speed; there are other methods that can be used, but this is good for estimating.

    This reply is for Nev, but I will republish it here in case others have the same questions:
    If you go to the Help tab in the spreadsheet, most of the definitions that you wrote in red are explained with diagrams. Regarding the sheet 'Berekenings' (Dutch for Calculations): the sheet is hidden but can be turned on and inspected (password is Dingo). All the background calculations are there. You ask why the thrust is more than the drag: it is because the drag is in the direction of motion (ie. horizontal), but the thrust acts at an angle slightly downward, so it has to be slightly higher in order to get the equal amount of horizontal force to counteract the drag. Regarding the Go button: press the button once you change a value. The trim will change to almost zero on the first run, then increment upwards until it reaches the equilbrium value for zero moment. If #VALUE appears, it means that the resistance can't be predicted for those particular given parameters.

    Make 2 column
    clo clb
    0.1 value obtained with =clo-....
    0.2 value obtained with =clo-....
    make this for all number of clo you need
    then use the function search to discover the value you need in that moment.
    warning taht search function give you the value incorect if you do not impost an interpolation before...

    Danielsan Amateur designer-builder?

    Is this OK?

    Hi,
    I did use the last version (English) of Dingos spreadsheet

    Any one thinks this can be a correct result? I should need 160HP to get my boat planning at 50kts

    THX in advance,
