Thanks Francois,

Having read this thread I can show you an exception, my first complete boat including hull design...!

This 40-footer will be exhibited at the Scandinavian Boat Show in Stockholm this coming week. The picture is from a week ago when all the bits and pieces started to come together.

I´ll post something on this event later...

HI

this 40footer looks great even in the shed , I can't wait to see her on the water. Any chance she will be making an appearance in the Düsseldorf Boote?

Is that a foil on her stern?

The black thing is just the port Kiekhaefer trimtab. We will unload her tonight so I may be able to post a close-up later. The sales people are very happy with the overall result so I hope I will be the same...

Regarding Düsseldorf, we will not sell her outside Scandinavia right now so Stockholm (spring) and Bergen (Norway) are the next shows.

Here the tab is from behind. Not yet splashed but weight was as predicted so hopefully speed will be 40 plus a few knots...

Just another picture, the guys will work all night to get her ready...

Very interesting. Inverted strakes with no pad. Deadrise looks to be around 24 degrees. Should offer an extremely smooth ride while providing good aeration. As you know, I'm not a fan of duo-delta conic (single step) hulls for high speed apps, but at commuter speeds... it's a very good choice. Fast planing, very little bow rise and good longitudinal dampening.

Good hull design Lars!

BTW... I would think the extension boxes would negate the use of trim tabs to some extent? For example... if they are running wet, they would counter the effect of your tabs?

[AMG]

Future will tell, but the idea of the step is to prevent pitching, the boxes are to give added bouyancy at rest and climbing on to plane without using the tabs which are mainly for side wind trim as the deadrise is 22-45 degrees...

Only the outer strake of the box should touch the water at speed and also give a grip in turns to override the effect of the induced air from the step... in theory at least...

Sorry about that AMG. I was looking at what appeared to be a horizontal foil just above the top of the barrel, with a vertical strut, and a dark area on the hull's bottom that appeared as a recess for that foil.

Thanks Lars for those pictures.Looks like she is coming along very well and will be launched soon .Has the inside been fitted out yet though? Nice planing hull.

Thanks Lars .I had some problem with my computer but now things are up and running again,
She looks very nice in the trials , nice turning abilities and sure a 46 knots speed is brillant.The interior is neat and compact.
Nice boat.
