    i agree completely, below water line needs to be adjusted as much as possible to allow a good hydrodynamic flow and less resistance, while still keeping the whole vessel at equilibrium in the beam extremeties. it's is intended for recreational use only.

    the intended and final idea is not the simple diamond shape. but once you can overcome the problematics of the diamond shape, then it opens up (in my opinion) a new way of hydrodynamic thinking and designing. why are we to stay resricted to the conventional shape?! surely whith the new design techs constantly emerging for hydrodynamic propolsion, the relationship between unconventional design and efficiency can be overcome.

    HEY... if an aircraft carrier is able to move at 30+ knots with a displacement of 100k tons (ok it has nuclear engines so it is less worried about spending on petrol, but even so), i am sure we can think of something to make a "dodgy" 62m yacht be more efficient! (or maybe i'm just an ignorant kid who thinks he know it all!)

    thanks for your time in answering the posts! :)

    Hardly, your design is many times over less efficiant than a "Standard" 62m yacht.

    You can't beat the laws of physics, and in this case your guilty.

    I never thought of a 62m yacht as "dodgy". It's quite a task once you look under the carpet and around the corners. Mastering the logistics of building one is immense. As of now they are about as efficant as they get.

    you seem to be misunderstanding... the design is not intended to increase the efficiency so far achieved of this size of yachts... but to equal it in different designs.


    i'm not trying to beat them... i'm trying to work around them.



    i wasnt refering to 62m yachts as dodgy.... i was refering to the diamond shape!

    thanks anyways, nice try :)

    ps: read, :confused: think:idea: , reply ;)

    How about this:
    Make a series of steps, sort of like on those cigar-boats. And from the rear of them have a pump pump either air, or perhaps even "just" water down under the bottom (t'wards the aft end, of course).

    Also, what about hydrofoils?

    nah... no hydrofoils (although the hull would benefit).

    hmmm, wetted shape open. bored so I drew something.
    this what you mean? Maybe not too original, "hulls" could be optimized for efficiency...

    At 400t, surely you could fit a big surprise inside.
    "Surprises" are fun. Does that make it recreational?

    BWD... you seem to be getting it perfectly. this is what this post is about. very NICE!

    i love SURPRISES!!

    if only you could keep it monohulled...

    i also like the reverse bow... it was my idea also.

    i hope you get borede again! ;)

    Why did you prefer a reverse bow?
