    Hi everyone,

    I am a naval architecture student from Federal University of Rio de Janeiro, located in Brazil, and I am intending to do some research on wave piercer catamarans.

    I have been trying to find out how good is the behavior of a wave piercer catamaran on rough seas. I mean, I want to know how height waves this vessel can handle. I am specifically trying to design a boat which comfort and speed are key issues for my design, and she should have 70m maximum of length.

    Does anyone recommend me any articles, book to research or have some information to clarify my ideas ??

    The Australian Maritime College in Tasmania (home of Incat) has looked into these matters for quite some time. Their list of final year thesis topics for 2008 includes the behaviour of high-speed cats in waves. See, for example,
    http://www.amc.edu.au/students/courses/pdf/ME/Final.Year.Thesis.Topics.2008.pdf

    Maybe the supervisors can help you.

    Good luck with your studies!
    Leo.

    Thanks oldsailor7.
    I recently helped one of their young naval architects with some work they were doing at the Aust. Maritime College in Tasmania.

    All the best,
    Leo.
