    I am currently trying to learn more about stepped hulls, reading all information I can get hold of. As far as I can gather there is not much published data on how to calculate the performance of boats with two-step and I particular how to calculate the interaction between the different planing surfaces, the shape of the wake etc.
    How can I get hold of these papers? Are they worth buying?

    I have read some of the papers by E Clement, and they are all brilliant, any other suggestions on what to read.
    I am based in Southampton UK.

    Thanks,
