    Excellent! Thanks, A.H. :)
    So, putting these two criteria together, the rule of thumb would be:

    if
    Aw/D^(2/3) < 1.5-2.0​
    then it is a SWATH.

    P.S. - when I hear the term semi-catamaran, a monohull comes to my mind... :p

    Hmm. So maybe we should start describing our stabilizer systems as being "semi-effective"? #decentengineer #lousysalesman

    Happy Thanksgiving, John! ;)

    Naahhh....your system is "fully-effective"..nothing semi about it at all. It is the full monty :D

    Not to mention, it is all based upon facts and real science....unlike semi-swath!!!!

    Enjoy your turkey :p
