    Hi there

    Could anyone give me sources of literature with "rule of thumbs" of how high I should design the freebord-part of my planned solarcat (details see my thread from 1/14/2006) in relation to draft (at maximum load scenario), LOA, wave-climate etc.?

    Thanks for your help in advance. Regards. Georg
