New generic hullshape for multihulls

I'm not necessarily seeking financial input. I'm more after someone with business, management and promotional skills. I have a first offering design of a small cruising cat which I can bear the cost of. But I need further asistance from a partner with skills who are willing to put in some of their time.
If someone wanted to take a different path, thst would be considered. I really need a smart decision maker. Because I'm neither.

 

With all due respect, the first thing you would need, in my opinion, is a serious study demonstrating that "that" thing you have in mind can be a boat and not simply a decorative object, say a "vase."

 

I see my mistake now. I had assumed that the law applying to NDAs was designed to be reasonable, that if you signed an NDA not to discuss what I was about to tell you, and I gave you a lecture on Newtonian mechanics, you would not be restrained from discussing Newtonian mechanics. But I should have remembered examples of laws having been passed that were either indifferent to reason, or actively opposed.

 

As I mentioned, I have made and tested sailing prototypes. I have a 5m catamaran moulds ready for production. I've model tested scale models of cruising cat designs. But I had no doubt about the ability of this hull design since I began working with it fifty years ago in water sports design and production. Fifteen years ago I realused it could be successfully adapted to multihulls.

 

Robert C., I will sign your NDA. I am not a Naval Architect but I can comment from an experienced, educated view point.

PM me the details and I promise not to compromise your intellectual property.

My heart goes out to you and I respect your personal disclosure. I have some experience with Autism.

Thanks for your reply. Can you talk via email at robcain8@hotmail.com

 

Done.
You may need to check your "Junk" box.

 

Good move, Blue Bell! To Robert C: you need a "devils lawyer", even if he is a pain in your bacon. Good luck!

 

I suspect you meant "trust". Although mutual thrust is good too...

 

Dang, but in a completely different context..... thanx for correcting!

 

Sorry, I don't understand the meaning of your comment.

 

Here, the "devils lawyer" is someone who checks your arguments from your opponents perspective, to find possible lack of consistency that might be attacked. Having your brainchild harshly scrutinized can be frustrating and a pain, but oh so useful before a trial, or meeting with customers or future partners, as in your case. I think BB will do fine in the role.

 

Unfortunately, if it was sailed in public there will be no patent protection. Inventions must have at least a patent applied for before testing them publicly.

 

It's been about a half century since I've been involved with patents (a relatively inexpensive lesson in the realities of life) and I'm not sure that's the case. In any event the OP would benefit greatly from @Blue Bell's perspective and experience.
